Unable to Retrieve Simplified Chinese Characters From Form
- by Bullines
I have a page that displays content retrieved from XML with no problems:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Root>
<Fields>
<NamePrompt>??</NamePrompt>
</Fields>
</Root>
Page encoding is set to GB18030 and it displays perfectly. However, when I retrieve inputted text from HttpContext.Current.Request.Form that's been entered with double-byte characters, the retrieved string contains unreadable characters. Single-byte characters are fine, obviously.
I've tried the following to no avail:
byte[] valueBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(HttpContext.Current.Request.Form["fullName"]);
string value = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(valueBytes);
I don't see this problem with other double-byte languages like Japanese or Korean. How can I successfully retrieve double-byte characters from a page that's GB18030 encoded?
