RE: Problem with Croatian special characters in check-in notes in Team Coding+TFS

Hello Ana,
Someone else can probably better answer questions about encoding.

I do not have access to Croatian character set, but tested Team Coding check in using Unicode characters.



Can you test if you still get the issue with the Toad Team Foundation Server (2005 - 2010) provider as opposed to SCC.  Set up as internal client.

Thanks
Stephen

Hello,

The environment we set up at a client's site a year ago includes versioning Oracle DBs using Toad, Team Coding and TFS2010. They are using MSSCCI provider and Toad 10.6.

Recently we discovered a very strange problem when using Croatian special characters in check-in notes.
Repro steps:

  1.  The user uses special characters in the Team Coding check-in dialog
  2.  The check in action is successful
  3.  The changeset is viewed in Visual Studio.
Error: Croatian characters are not displayed properly - see attached picture.

The  installation was done by the book and no special settings in terms of encoding were set (at last we are not aware of setting any).

Does anybody have an idea where to start looking for the problem?
Encoding in Toad /Oracle /Team Coding?
Encoding in TFS?
Regional settings?

Thank you very much in advance,
Cheers, Ana
