使用数据集读取值会弄乱取决于客户端操作系统的特定语言字符

Question

I have made a windows application using C# that creates a dataset with data from a Dbase database file using a OleDBConnection.

My problem is that this runs just fine on my own computer (swedish) but when i run this on my server (english) the swedish letters (å,ä,ö,Å,Ä,Ö) gets messed up.

I have tried this with no luck:

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("sv-SE");
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("sv-SE");

Answer 1

Ok well so i kinda fixed it myself, not the best of ways but it will work for me.

Since i will be running if on a English OS computer i made function that changed all the weird characters to swedish ones.

public string changeSpecialCharacters(string kund)
{
    StringBuilder b = new StringBuilder(kund);

    b = b.Replace("σ", "å");
    b = b.Replace("┼", "Å");
    b = b.Replace("Σ", "ä");
    b = b.Replace("─", "Ä");
    b = b.Replace("÷", "ö");
    b = b.Replace("╓", "Ö");

    return b.ToString();
}

Until i find a way to do this differently ill stick with it.
