Hello,

If your field type is Nvarchar:

SQL

Create Table TestTable
(
	ID Bigint Identity(1,1) NOT NULL Primary Key,
	Detail nvarchar(200) NOT NULL,
)

For example I've created a stored procedure:

SQL

Create  Procedure   WriteInTestTable(
   @Detail   as  Nvarchar(200)
)
As
Begin

        Insert  TestTable (Detail)
                Values(@Detail)
End

And if I insert value as 'N', for example:

SQL

exec WriteInTestTable N'Some Urdu words...'

Then, I don't see any problem:

SQL

Select	*	From	TestTable

Do you insert values with N keyword?

Insert BlaBla (Name)
Values (N'Ordu')

If you do it, you wont have any problem.

We have this problem with Persian Language too, if we forget 'N' Keyword before the inserting values.

N'Value in Ordu or Persian or Arabic'

You have this command :

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("insert into policrec values('" + polnam.Text + "','" + ....

1. This is not a good idea. Not a secure way (Injection Risk). The user can inject SQL commands instead of it. For example, If user inserts “aaaa’) Drop Table policrec --” as the last parameter, then ops! You know it. Use command.Parameters

2. If you Insist to go your way, Ok, then use N to insert in ordu. for example
values(N'" + polnam.Text + "', N'" + ....

I think you aleary have your answer.
