Hello all,

In my code im using Response.Write(someText) to write out some Japanese text
to a new browser window. In the command window, the text is correct, but when
the browser window opens it appears as ャーã®エア抜ãÂÂ.

Why would this be so? My code is below:

Response.ClearHeaders();
Response.ClearContent();
Response.Buffer= true;
Response.AppendHeader("content-length", strResponse.Length.ToString());
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=Online
Form Results " + IDToDisplay.ToString()+ ".html");

Response.ContentType = "text/html";
Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
Response.Expires = 0;
Response.Write(strResponse);

Response.End();

Thanks all for help.

You may not be able to cant display Japanese textbwith UTF-8 encoding.
you'll need to use a japanese charset such as

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=Shift_JIS">

.aspx

I've never tried it but it may be
Response.ContentEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("SHIFT-JIS")

UTF-8 is a *Unicode* Tranformation Format and thus has no problems encoding
Japanese characters.

That's not the true Content-Length. Its value may be greater than the string
length.
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition",
"attachment;filename=Online
Form Results " + IDToDisplay.ToString()+ ".html");
Response.ContentType = "text/html";
Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;

Did you check whether the browser did pick up the correct encoding (UTF-8)
from the HTTP response?

Cheers,
 
I never knew that Joerg. Thanks for correcting me.
