    Are you referring to the dropdown list box?  If so, the dropdown list box responds to the dir property set on the document.  Select DOCUMENT in the properties Window, then set the property to RTL and the text should display correctly.

    Sadik, try putting this to your web.config file, hope this helps:

    <globalization requestEncoding="windows-1256" responseEncoding="windows-1256" fileEncoding="windows-1256" culture="ar-SA" uiCulture="ar-SA" />

    You can set the DIR property on the document, or a div or span.  Select "DOCUMENT" in the properties window.  Select the dir property, and set the value to rtl.  It will generate a line like this in the html source:
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="rtl"     >
    You can also set it on a div or a span, and other individual elements depending on how you want the page laid out. 
    Setting dir on the document affects the entire page, which means both the page layout and on the control behavior within the page.

    You can find more detailed information on how to support Arabic at this location:  http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/msdn/arabicsupp.aspx

    This looks like a client browser issue. Is that what you mean by "displaying"?

    Even if you do everything right on the server end(both asp.net, IIS and the db) if the client browser encoding is not set properly it will display these ????????

    Try changing it in View => Encoding menu

    Also try looking at the client View => Source to see if the text is showing properly.

    HTH!

    You are getting character conversion use unicode data type in SQL Server NChar, NVarchar 4000 limt and NText 1gig because unicode is multi bytes.  You also need column level collation for Arabic in your create table statement.  Run a search for unicode collation and code page in SQL Server BOL (books online).  Hope this helps.

    hi voooodzzzzz

    i think your problem in the arabic characters coding can be sloved by changing the data type of the arabic columns to nvarchar ntext . thus your app will work correctly .

     I think there is a way, try to change the requestEncoding in the web.config to windows-1252

    (Honestly, changing the requestEncoding to windows-1252 used to work well for your case in ASP 3.0), hope it works for you in ASP.NET
