globalization pains (asp.net limited :)

[greg]

Hi

I have a web form and I have a database
on form - text field (web control)
in database nvarchar

in web.config globalization utf-8 response request

I type in Russian few words in text control
when I try to save in code behind I put
String stuff = textfield.Text;

and insert stuff into nvarchar
does not work!!!!

if I enter into db field thru enterprize manager into that field text in
Russian display is fine

why it would not enter
I thought String is unicode?!

Thanks
