Question

I use C# web service to insert, delete and get data from MySql database.
The problem is some of the data is in Macedonian (Cyrilic).

When I insert directly in the database, it inserts ok. For example: “дсд” is “дсд”.
When I insert throgh the service, it’s not. For example: “дсд” is “???”.
When I try to get data throug the service, it gets it ok.
What’s the problem with the inserting?

Here is part of my code for inserting:

    MySqlConnection connection = new MySqlConnection(MyConString);
    MySqlCommand command = connection.CreateCommand();
    command.CommandText = "INSERT INTO user (id_user, name VALUES (NULL, ?name);";
    command.Parameters.Add("?name", MySqlDbType.VarChar).Value = name;
    connection.Open();
    command.ExecuteReader();

    connection.Close();
    return thisrow;

Tnq U in advance!!!

Answer 1

The solution is in the connection string: MyConString = “SERVER=localhost;” + “DATABASE=yourdatabase;” + “charset=utf8;”;.
