<br>
I don't know much about the hindi character sets.<br>
I guess you could extent that byte array to string copy function with arbitrary
character sizes, like for double bytes something like:<br>
<br>
for (int i = 0; i < bytes.Length; i=i+2)<br>
s.Append(Convert.ToChar(bytes[i] + 256*bytes[i+1]));<br>

<p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>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>
<br>
Best regards,<br>

<p>Hello <o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o: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<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>labelObj label = classObj.label;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>label.encoding = "CP1256";<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>label.text = "some text in Arabic"; (At rune time in VS, I can see
the text is actually in Arabic)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>But labels are displayed as '?????'.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o: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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Appreciate any help.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Murty<o:p></o:p></p>
