OK here is the code, again the problem is any special chars in the
dataset come back all messed up when i try to display them on the web
page, The data is fine, in fact this same code dispalys the data fine
in text box when bound in a windows Forms, but the data comes back as
follows on the web,
It's hard to see
comes out as

This is from the ' that MS word uses, as it is not a real '
string connString =
ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["myconn"].ConnectionString;
using (SqlConnection LocalConnection = new
SqlConnection(connString))
{
LocalConnection.Open();
string strsql = "SELECT * FROM MyData ";
try
{
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(strsql,
LocalConnection);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds," MyData ");
return ds;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return null; //for now
}
finally
{
LocalConnection.Close();
}

Many thanks for any replies in advance...
When retrieving a Dataset if there are ANY non standard characters in
the data (ms word style quotes "for example"), they are returned
all screwed up. I must be doing something wrong here as the Dataset is
too powerful and the ?text data type too useful for this to a real
problem, what am I missing?
Again, thanks for any replies!
