.NET CF SQLCE & Chinese characters

[James Redclaff]

Hello

I have saved some chinese characters in a SQLCE-Database. I can read it
correctly on the full framework, but not with .NET CF 3.5.
Why? How can I read it?

Thanks

Define "read." You can't get it out of the database, or you can't display
it?

Sorry, I can read it from the database, but when I want to display it, it is
only showing "squares"

You need a Font on the device capable of displaying Chinese glyphs.
Standard English devices don't have that font as it's quite large and most
people buying English devices presumably don't need it. Install a Font with
the glyphs and they will display fine.

Thanks, I will try that.
