Problem with charset on OraDirect.NET Mobile

Hi,

I have a small (I hope) problem with character set in OraDirect .NET Mobile.
I have different devices. In those, where I can set locale for "Polish", everything works fine.
But there are many devices, in which "Polish " locale is not available. In such environment I receive replies from the server without polish characters - someone (Devart's library, I think) makes a conversion and I receive standard ascii characters.

Is it possible to override system setting (English by default) and disable the conversion at all, or make conversion for polish charset ?
I work with Visual Studio 2008 and VB, so, I believe, I am working with UTF8 and conversions are not needed. Labels in program are displayed on both devices correctly.

I have tried both oracleconnection.unicode settings true and false. With the same result.

Best regards

Tell us please, what is your database encoding?

Code: Select all

select * from nls_database_parameters where parameter='NLS_CHARACTERSET'

I made tests on different databases, with EE8MSWIN1250 and EE8ISO8859P2 encoding

Character set of obtained data is read really from Encoding.Default.CodePage. Now it cannot be changed. We will investigate the capability of setting it in the needed way.
