Text encoding problem in imagemap mode (Read 2941 times)

	Hi, After loading an XML file in imagemap mode, I have the following text encoding problem : some characters in nodes' text like accents (my application is in French) are changed because the text seems to be converted in UTF8 (well, I think it's UTF8 ). For instance, the word "Sup�rieur" is displayed "Supérieur". I don't have this problem if I load the XML file in applet mode. Is there anything to do to fix this ? Can I convert nodes' text into another encoding system for example ? Thanks in advance !

	Hi, Create your own XmlDocument and set its encoding as shown in the "XmlDeclaration.Encoding" sample in the MSDN library. Next use the void SaveToXml(XmlDocument document) method to save the flowchart to the document, and finally XmlDocument.Save(fileName) to save it to a file. I hope that helps, Stoyan

	Thanks for this reply. The problem is that I save diagram data from client side with saveToString method, and I want to load XML files in imagemap & applet modes... I finally managed to solve my problem with imagemap mode by converting systematically nodes' content from UTF8 to Unicode before display. That's the better solution I can see for the moment.

	Perhaps we should add an "encoding" parameter to the xml methods. Otherwise, the control just uses the default encoding set by the Java and .NET XML APIs. Stoyan

	Yes, I think an encoding parameter should be obviously useful for users developping applications in accented languages...
