Hi,<br><br>You might want to try with encoding="ISO-8859-6" assuming you have libiconv compiled in.<br>The c# mapscript doesn't specify explicit conversion during the marshaling. In this case I assume an unicode to Charset.Ansi conversion will automatically takes place by default.<br>

<p>Hello </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am having some issues using Arabic text as labels. I am
using C# map script. I am setting the following at runtime</p>
<p> </p>
<p>labelObj label = classObj.label;</p>
<p>label.encoding = "CP1256";</p>
<p>label.text = "some text in Arabic"; (At rune
time in VS, I can see the text is actually in Arabic)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But labels are displayed as '?????'.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Is there any conversion I need to do before setting
the text value. How are the string represented in the underlying mapscript dll
(ASCII or Unicode?). As I was reading in the MSDN, the default marshalling uses
LPStr which is a single byte of ASCII. Does it mean that first I need to
convert from Unicode to ASCII in C# before setting the value.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Appreciate any help.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Murty</p>
