I would like to ask how FileUpload support multi-lingual.

I use it as the upload utility for my system. When I upload a file with file name in chinese characters (which is Big5 encoding), the filename returns by the FileItem are all as the format of &#nnnnn;.

Thus, are there any ways that I can convert those &#nnnnn; characters back into the chinese characters?

Thanks.

The format you are getting is unicode. I'm not sure of what your intension is with the display of the filename. Check on how your browser (which must have the display capabilities for Chinese unicode characters) displays the filename (say if your application displays it thereafter) to see if the unicode representation of the name matches the filename initially sent in.
Otherwise, here's a forum on converting unicode to big5.
