i'm currently working on a windows xp machine with an
english visual studio .net 2003 environment. when i
connect to an oracle table using OracleClient-Objects
(Connection, DataAdapter, Command) everything is working
fine (i can see all the stuff in a datagrid). When i move
the same application to a workstation with a german
framework (1.1) (MDAC 2.7), most of the information is
unreadable. i get some |-characters after several readable
information (example "Gen|||" ) sometimes the information
is cut. what's wrong here? is that a problem of code
translation? can you help? thanks!

regards chris
 
Chris,

I don't think that it is a matter of code translation, but rather, what
is in the database on the back end. Are you making assumptions about the
encoding of the data which aren't true for the German clients? Are there
settings you need to adjust in the connection because the data in the German
database is a different encoding or uses a different code page? I would ask
these questions first.

Hope this helps.
