My ASP.NET
website has a Linq-To-Sql
database connected with a connection string to an SQL 2008 DB.
Locally, when using an MDF
file, everything worked fine. I had a "loader" method, looping though files (only once, via admin panel), parsing them and adding to the database. They contain Unicode Hebrew text. I had done this locally. Then, my local website would print out the correct Unicode Hebrew characters to the HTML document. My whole website is in Hebrew.
With the connection string provided by my shared hosting provider, dumping the SQL DB (without data!) to an sql
, executing on server & loading it up from the files, I start seeing question marks (???) instead of Hebrew characters (the website itself, which is in Hebrew shows up correctly). The SQL database has text
type fields.
The more funny thing is, that it has been working for some time correctly before showing up question marks (!).
How can I make the Hebrew characters show up correctly? Thank you!
