[mapserver-users] Encoding issues

[Murty Maganti]

Hi

 

I tried with the suggested encoding but still no success.

>From the output below, I guess ICONV support is included.

 

E:\Utils\MapServer\Map Server 5.2 RC\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin>mapserv -v

MapServer version 5.2.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
OUTPUT=PDF

 OUTPUT=SWF OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=FREETYPE
SUPPORTS=ICO

NV SUPPORTS=FRIBIDI SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT
SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER

SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER SUPPORTS=SOS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=FASTCGI SUP

PORTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=GEOS SUPPORTS=RGBA_PNG INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS
INPUT=OGR

 INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

 

Where can get some details on how to build the C# mapscript (Managed
assembly only) from Visual Studio, keeping all unmanaged dlls from
binaries from ms4w. I just want to give a try using MarshalAsAttribute.

 

Thanks

Murty

Hi,

You might want to try with encoding="ISO-8859-6" assuming you have
libiconv compiled in.
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.

Best regards,

Tamas

Hello 

 

I am having some issues using Arabic text as labels. I am using C# map
script. I am setting the following at runtime

 

labelObj label = classObj.label;

label.encoding = "CP1256";

label.text = "some text in Arabic"; (At rune time in VS, I can see the
text is actually in Arabic)

 

But labels are displayed as '?????'.

 

 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.

 

Appreciate any help.

 

Thanks

Murty
