how does ado.net SqlDataReader.GetString() know which encoding to read the
data into a string as? Does sql sever set this at the column data type
level, server wide encoding setting, os encoding?

Don't know, but you can get Reflector (http://www.aisto.com/roeder/
dotnet/) to see internal implementation of SqlDataReaderClass
