Well, you could check if every character is ASCII (i.e. has a Unicode
value < 128). If so, it can't be Chinese. On the other hand, that won't
catch words with accents in. What would you want to happen if someone
entered half a Chinese word and half an English word?

Im guessing you have to change the settings on the PC to enter chinese
characters?

If so you can use the

System.Globaliz ation.CultureIn fo.CurrentCultu re

property to get the culture which the current thread is using

Hello all, I am having a few issues with encoding to chinese characters and perhaps someone might be able to assist. At the moment I am only able to see chinese characters when displayed as part of a datagrid. When an input textbox is displayed it does not display chinese characters, but rather the unicode characters stored in the mssql 2000 server backend.

Hi all, I have to do a website in chinese! Basically I just need to know how to output chinese characters. I am assuming its very easy, but have never done it before. I can however do simple things like changing the formats of currency and calendars and so on. I am guessing the answer is quite simple given; I assume Unicode would support all the chinese characters right? Ideally I'd like them to be able to enter their own content...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
