Hello i'm trying to get the values from mysql at my webpage.

First all my tables are latin5 and connection type is latin5 at mysql server. Indeed, when i send a select query to my database, the characters like "ı" or "ç" or "ş" returns like "?".

Also a mybb system is uploaded to my website. Mybb returns the true characters but the asp.net surface has a problem about it.

How can i solve this problem? Every webpage send me a query like SET NAMES 'latin5' or a stmt=SET NAMES Latin5 to my connection. But it's not working.

How can i translate  "ı" or "ç" or "ş" to real  values?

Thank you very much.

change your collation in mysql to latin_general. In your asp.net change the meta tag languaje to utf-8
