Question

I’m trying to execute a simple SQL statement with Chinese values but it doesn’t work. I fund from MSD forums that I must use an nvarchar field in my MS SQL Server, but it doesn’t work either.

This is a code extract:

sqlCommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text
sqlCommand.CommandText = "insert into ExampleTable values('发现','发现','发现')"
sqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()

This is executed without problem, but in the DataBase I got this: “???????????????????”

Thanks again for your help

Answer 1

Preceed the values with the letter N to treat them as nvarchar:

sqlCommand.CommandText = "insert into ExampleTable values(N'发现',N'发现',N'发现')"
