Hello, if I for example have in xaml: <TextBlock>öööüüüüßßß</TextBlock> with special german characters, I get compiler error, "Invalid character in the given encoding". I have not set any encoding. The same is in buttons, and other controls. So what have I to set in Visual Studio, or anywhere, to use german characters in xaml. Thank you for any help. Rolf Welskes
Hi Ron, This works on the .NET 3.5. However, you may try to use a different format. <TextBlock Text="öööüüüüßßß"></TextBlock> Hope this helps.
