Problem with HTMLEditorControl

Hello.

I am using a HTMLEditorControl (Microsoft.ConsultingServices.HtmlEditor.HtmlEditorControl)

It has an InnerHTML property which I use to save the control's content to the database (mysql)

But the problem I have is that instead of Enter small squares appear.

So those squares appear in another app, which reads from this database.

I suppose this is all about different encodings, but don't know how to solve it.

I am using Visual Basic 2005, MySql Database, and the htmleditorcontrol mentioned before.

Would appreaciate any help.

Best Regards,

Alberto Abudara.
