Displaying Japanese characters from NVARCHAR field

[gwalchmai]

I've been tasked with internationalis ing our web application.

The web pages are working fine but C# forms seem to have issues.

I'm trying to display some japanese characters from a sql server database table in a textbox in a C# form. I'm not getting what I expected. Is it necessary to do any Encoding conversions on the data before placing it in a form element?

Table collation is SQL_Latin1_Gene ral_CP1_CI_AS

What kind of issues exactly?

Did you verify that the font used on the texbox is correct and can display extended characters?
You aren't implicitly converting it to ascii by using any sort of string functions?
