Charset problem

First, check whether Arabic data is stored properly in ASE.
Run a select query using convert(binary,colname) against the
table containing Arabic data and confirm whether the binary
is correct or not.

If its correct, I suspect it'd be ADO.NET driver issue in
converting the Arabic data, else it should be ASE issue.

Hope this helps.
