  Using Chinese and Japanese characters as file name in multi-language website

  Aug 04, 2011 09:11 AM|LINK

  <div class="post-text">

  I have developed a web application to upload and download files. Filename and file information are stored in database. Also, these files and other file information are displayed in a gridview. The website is localized for Chinese and Japanese languages. I want the users to be able to enter Chinese and Japanese filenames as well. In Web.config file, I have entered this

  <globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" fileEncoding="utf-8"/>

  How can this be done? I read in some forums that Server.UrlEncode can be the solution, but how to use this in the application?

  Also, which encoding will be the best for this?

  Please help!!

  I had thought this would be more complicated than this. But adding the above line in web.config and using nvarchar as the datatype for all the parameters in queries, it works!
