ASP.Net ListView给出空白的特殊字符记录

Question

I have a asp.net ListView control which is bound to a data source using the DataSourceId.

<asp:ListView ID="myListView" runat="server" DataKeyNames="*****" DataSourceID="myDataSource">

The Data source gets data from the SQL Server using the myDataSource.SelectCommand .

In the resulting list view, rows blanks out where there are special characters such as é in the sql table row. (double checked using SQL Management Studio)

I think this may be due to a UNICODE issue, but how can i solve this issue in the ListView ?

Answer 1

This is not a issue with Listview, it looks when you are pulling out data in .net, these Unicode is getting converted to blank spaces.

This is just a example with textfile having UniCode

 using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(@"D:\input.txt", Encoding.Unicode))
    {
        label1.Text = reader.ReadToEnd();
    }

You can try with this and will understand what I am trying to say.
