MVC RC1 Symbol encoding error?

Feb 06, 2009 01:33 PM|LINK

Hi.

I have create default MVC application. And change messages in view page (aspx) to my native language (Russian). Everything works fine on VS debug server. But than I have publish it on NET 3.5 SP1 hosting (www.qsh.eu). And English messages looks good, but Russian messages changes to unknown symbols.

Than I make some more tests on same hosting.

WebForm page (aspx) works fine.
Strings passed from controller to view thru ViewData displays fine.
Strings from resources displays fine too.
Only symbols written inside aspx file (view) changed to strange symbols.

I have use Russian language with Beta1 at this hosting before and everything works good (and now it works fine too).

P.S. I have add "System.Web.Mvc.dll, System.Web.Routing.dll, System.Web.Abstractions.dll" to bin folder to run it on hosting.

P.S.2 Sorry for my English.

Updated

It is strange. When I have add some French symbols - everything became fine.

Algorithm to reproduce:

1) create emty View page.

2) add some words in English and Russian to view page

3) publish on a hosting. Russian words dispalys incorrect. It is bug.

4) !!! add some words in French. Publish. !!! Everything (include Russian) works fine !!!!

5) !!! remove French words (now here is only English and Russian) !!! It still works fine !!!

Code:

<body>
    <h2>Tests with Russian</h2>
	<div>
		<p>
			В лесу родилась елочка <b>- Displays wrong</b>
		</p>
		<p>
			<%= ViewData["message"] %> <b>It is from ViewData - Dispalays Right</b>
		</p>
		<p>
			<%= Resources.Resource1.Message %> <b>Is is from Resources. - Dispalays Right</b>
		</p>
	</div>
</body>

Bug printscreen

Update2
It is url of sample page with bug: http://landofdragon.qsh.ru/templates/third

But is is on freehosting and can work very slow some time

No, there is not any changes in web.config. No any changes of Culture or UICulture.

Hmm yeah I think I see, its encoding wrong. What are the globalization settings in your web.config set up as? Are they setup to use Unicode?

Here are codes. "web.config" full "aspx" code and controller code.

It is web.config but there is no globalization settings. There is no any changes, it is created by VS. May be some problems can be at hosting (in machine.config)?

Try setting this

Just the globalization section, to test if it fixes russian, it will probably break other languages. But I'm trying to localize teh problem more, I think it is a configuration issue on the host.
