Hey we've been building some reports.. occassionally the build / change
team complains when we use 'special characters' in our reports..
I opened up our RDLs; and I noted that we have this as the first line
<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"utf-8"?>
I was thinking that we might need to change to 16 in order to allow
'special characters'
<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"utf-16"?>
In other words; we are using SSRS 2005 in order to 'print letters' for
mass-mailing.. and we have some letters that people are printing out.
We just want to be able to use a simple character for a box-- as in a
simple checkbox-- that they can print off; fill out.. and snailmail
back in
I just have this gut feeling that I'm going to break our build process
if I send in a special character.. because 70% of our breaks have been
the result of special characters so far.
So am I limited to the ASCII set? Can I use Unicode characters?
So I need to set the UTF8 flag at the top of our reports to UTF16?
Thanks

=E2=80=ABanyone?
does anyone else have reports that have this at top?
<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"utf-16"?>
or does everyone else have
<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"utf-8"?>
you see this is the piece that's a buch of crap; microsoft is blocking
my posts.. just because I speak the truth.
Piece of shit ass company supports CENSORSHIP-- not in China-- but here
in their own backyard

character set..
