In the past, I thought I had to make sure code like
MyRecordSet.Field("FirstName").StringValue.ToText
had to include reference to encodings, like
MyRecordSet.Field("FirstName").StringValue.DefineEncoding(Encodings.UTF8).ToText
Otherwise I would get a runtime error. But this no longer seems necessary. Has something changed in Xojo with respect to this?
Using Xojo 2017r3.
