Hello,

I'm using Youtube APIs to search videos from ASP.Net page and dsiplay the result in a gridview .I'm using codebehind 

here is my code:

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
       
        if (Request.Form["v"] != null)
        {
            Session["search"] = Request.Form["v"];
        }
       try
       {
            string developerKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["developerKey"];
            string uri = "http://www.youtube.com/api2_rest?";
            uri += "method=youtube.videos.list_by_tag";
            uri += "&dev_id=" + developerKey;
            uri += "&tag=" +  Session["search"];
            uri += "&page=1&per_page=100";
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();          
            ds.ReadXml(uri);
           
            DataTable dt = ds.Tables[2];
            
            this.GridView1.DataSource = dt;
            GridView1.DataBind();
   }
      catch
        {
           Response.Write("<center><b><font color='red'>Error in Retrieving Data</font></b></center>");
      }
    }

 When I use an English word it works fine, but when I try to search using an Arabic word, the word looks like this "??????"

how can I resolve this problem?

Thank you
