Japanese font problem in Visual Studio 2005 PDK for .NET 2.5

[Former Member]

Hi experts.

I am doing some development in the VIsual Studio 2005 PDK for .NET 2.5.

The .NETframework I have installed is 2.0 in english.

I have developed a web page and when I deploy it, the japanese characters are not shown properly, whereas the english characters are seen properly.

(The Japanese characters are visible in the design zone.)

Will you guys tell me how can I set the fonts so that I can develop Japanese contents in visual studio 2005?

Many thanks and regards,

sudeep

Hi Sudeep,

From your description, I understand that Japanese strings, that are written hard coded to the ascx file, are displayed properly in design time in Visual Studio, but aren't displayed correctly in runtime when you are viewing Portal Component in the Portal.

To solve it, use File -> "Save as" option in Visual Studio to save ascx file using Unicode (UTF-8 without signature) encoding. Don't forget to redeploy the project after it.

Regards,

Rima.
