Using unicodes in windows application.

[Guest]

We have a requirement where, we get unicodes from the server and we need to
display them on labels present n the windows form.

I have searched but couldn't find a way to use Unicodes directly or convert
them to ascii code.
example: £ for pound symbol £.

Any ideas or suggestions.

Thanks,

Windows Forms controls are in general Unicode-aware. "£" just works fine on
my German Windows XP machine.

why do you need ASCII? try
label1.Text = '\u0040' or any other unicode

You don't need to do any conversion. The only thing you might need to
do is make sure that the font you're using supports the symbols you
need to display. For things like a pound symbol, however, it should be
fine by default.
