title: ADO.NET + Sql Server Varchar encoding problem
body: <p>Put simply, I have a set of special characters in a Sql Server database varchar column, and I want to fetch it from a C# application.</p>
  
  <p>Now the difficulty is: using Query Analyzer, I get the desired value of: "·°ï££".</p>
  
  <p>However, through the client application, I end up with: "À░´úú".</p>
  
  <p>It's a varchar column in a database with collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_CI_AI. In C#, I'm using default encoding.
  I'm at a loss - any ideas?</p>
