Discussion

Use this property to set either the Windows ANSI (ISO 8859-1) or the DOS (OEM) character set.

We recommend that you use the same character set on both the client and the server while developing the client/server model to ensure correct results with extended characters (above 128).

The CharacterType property uses the values of xtrCharacterType.

Constant - xtrCharacterType

Read/Write

Examples

objDataSource 
= objModel.DataSources.
   Add(xtrObjectType.trFlatFileDataSource)objDataSource.CharacterType
