Re: how does ado.net SqlDataReader.GetString() know which encoding to read the data into a string as? Does sql sever set this at the column data type level, server wide encoding setting, os encoding?

how does ado.net SqlDataReader.GetString() know which encoding to read the
data into a string as?

No idea, but then this newsgroup is for classic ADO, pre-ADO.NET, and has no
concept of DataReaders
ADO.NET is off topic here

All clueless .NET programmers please read below:

===================================================

All .NET newsgroups have the word "dotnet" somewhere in the
name.
Newsgroups lacking "dotnet" are _NOT_ for .NET development

Here is a list that might help:

Newsgroup support on .NET:
microsoft.public.dotnet.* hieracrchy

Newsgroup support on ADO.NET:
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet

Newsgroup support on VB.NET:
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.languages.vb
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.languages.vb.controls
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.languages.vb.data
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.languages.vb.upgrade

Newsgroup support on C#:
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.languages.csharp

Newsgroup support on Datagrid:
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.datagridcontrol

Newsgroup support on Datatools:
microsoft.public.dotnet.datatools

Newsgroup support on Windows Forms
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms.control
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms.databinding
