Custom Control problem latin characters

[alexvazquez]

I just created a custom control. The ascx.vb code behind of the custom control reads some data from an access database that has latin characters like (ñ,á,é,í,ó,ú). When I execute the aspx page that reads the control I can get the latin charactesrs instead I get garbage where the latin chars should be. I already set the Encoding of the page to latin charset but I don't know if I have to set the charset in the control and in the codebehing and if so someone know how to do it?

Please let me know asap. Thanks a lot

Alex

Have you look into the web.config's globalization node
