This part does not look clear:
"Not : Arabic dataset results works fine."
What is fine, what is not, exactly? Any code sample? Exact description of what does not work? How exactly it looks?

Please see my comment to the question. Arabic script is none of a problem, as everything works with Unicode these days; and Arabic script is very well-known and popular enough to be supported by nearly all modern systems by default.

You only need to use Unicode data type working with texts in SQL servers. You can use nchar, nvarchar, or ntext data types. Please see:

So, to start with, make sure you do it properly. As to .NET, it only supports Unicode anyway, unless you screw it up with some tricks… :-)
