Could someone post an example of this encoding and decoding? I can't seem to make it work.

Code at client side:

string wUrl = String.Format("caller={0}&proc={1}", wCaller, wProc);
wUrl = "http://localhost:50899/slproxy.aspx?" + wUrl;          

webClient.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(webclient_DownloadStringCompleted);
webClient.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri(wUrl, UriKind.Absolute));

Code at server side:

Request.ContentEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
string caller = Request.QueryString.Get("caller");
string proc = Request.QueryString.Get("proc");

Your problem could also be at the server end though...

Usually using UTF8 should work for those characters. Just make sure you use UTF8 in both ends for encoding and decoding.

That's basically because of the Encoding. Do those characters exist in the encoding used?

Have you tried using HttpUtility.HtmlEncode()? I know thats not exactly what its for but at least the data will be preserved during transfer.

Alternatively it may be worth while to look into the Encoding class (System.text.Encoding). I haven't used it before but converting a compatible format may work.

I have a problem with saving data. I use a webclient to communicate with the server, and each time I send something with a å ä or ö in it, that character is converted when it reaches the server. I've tried setting webClient.Encoding but there aren't that many alternatives, and nothing works. How do I solve this?
