I have a mysql database with utf8_general_ci encoding ,
i'm connecting to the same database with php using utf-8 page and file encode and no problem
but when connection mysql with C# i have letters like this غزة
i editit the connection string to be like this
server=localhost;password=root;User Id=root;Persist Security Info=True;database=mydatabase;Character Set=utf8
but the same problem .
解决方案Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword; CharSet=utf8;
Note! Use lower case value utf8 and not upper case UTF8 as this will fail.
