[Firebird-net-provider] UTF8 issue and Firebird Dot Net Data Provider

[Brad S. <swe...@YA...>]

I have a database with a UTF8 connection where the data does not appear in a UTF8 format.  I can save and look at the data using a Delphi program connecting through the gds32.dll/fbClient.dll and it works as expect.  If I use IBExpert, it also works correctly.  I cannot get this to work with Visual Studio using the FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.dll client.  Characters like È and è appear like �.  I have tried  version 2.6.5.0 and it works the same way as our shipping version 2.5.2.0.  The Firebird version is 2.5.1.  Is there a known problem using UTF8 or is there anything I can try to get this to work?



Thanks,

Brad
