Unicode in Oracle

[Sam Kong]

Hello!

I am trying to get data from Oracle 8.0.5 via OracleConnection.
Oracle's NLS_LANG is set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII.
The data is Korean.
There was no problem getting data using VB6 or Delphi.
But with C#, the characters are broken.
I believe that it's a character encoding problem.
What can I do?

Thanks.

Sam

With .NET, set the Current thread culture to the culture you want to display
(Korean, I assume). The correct string for setting culture is found in the
help file, as well as the method for setting culture on the application's
thread. I believe you can also find this in the QuickStart samples that
install with the Framework.
