more on encoding
After some more investigation:
here is -as far as my observations are concerned- what happens:
Command object :
Gets bytes from the page using CP1252-encoding but converts it to a CP1254-encoded String.
OTOH
DataReader :
Gets bytes from the DB using CP1254-encoding but converts it to a CP1252-encoded String.
So when I interfere in and do
ResponseString(encoded in CP1254) ->
getBytes using 1254 encoding->
convert to a CP1252-encoded String and then feed the string to the CommandObject,
the object works as expected because it converts the string back to the original bytearray (which is 1254-encoded) and then creates a 1254-encoded SQL INSERT String to the database as per the command line.
The same argument goes for the DataReader as well:
When I interfere and split what the reader returns down to bytes using 1252 encoding, since I know that they are actually bytes of a 1254-encoded String, I can properly construct the String back using
byteArray->toString(1254 encoding)
Really strange.
