ASP.NET WebForms page is partially Encoding Gibberish.

Question

i have a webform.page, on a master.page.

When I run from VS Development Server, everything looks great... hebrew and stuff :")
When I deploy/upload the files to 'Arvixe.com' shared server.
the page comes half gibberish.
The content of the Master.Page is kept intact.
The content of the Web-form is Gibberish, EXCEPT for text that come from my SQL DATABASE as NVARCHAR.

There are slight differences in the Web.config (other constraints).
tried playing with <globalization> tag.
all pages contain <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

Screenshot - only the Title of the Repeater is hardcoded in the content page

Just Typical...
spend 2 hours searching for the solution.
another 15 min to phrase the question.
and find the solution 2 min after that.

the Content Pages where ANSI so i converted them to UTF8 and uploaded.
Everything is great now both locally, and on the server.

what i dont understand is : why did it work locally on VS Development Server? – Tomer W Jun 03 '13 at 14:49
By "VS Development server" do you mean SQL Server express, or are you talking about the IIS Express? – Dan Esparza Jun 03 '13 at 18:47
SQL 2008R2 Std, with the Visual Studio Built-in Server – Tomer W Jun 04 '13 at 13:16
