I'm seeing a small problem with text encodings in V4Rb 2.0.5. I'm
importing some records into a Valentina database. The text is
MacRoman-encoded and contains curly apostrophes; these apostrophes are
lost when I assign the text to a VField. In particular, if I execute
the following code
c.TextField("description").Value = "Valentina’s"
dim foo as String = c.TextField("description").Value
where the string "Valentina’s" is MacRoman-encoded, foo is set to
"Valentinas".
If I first convert the encoding of "Valentina’s" to UTF-8, then there
are no problems.
