Hi,
After writing the £ (pound sterling) symbol to a file using
StreamWriter using the default encoding UTF8, when I retrieve it the
file symbol £ gets changed. But when I use Encoding.Defaul t in the
StreamWriter, I am able to retrieve the symbol without any issue.
Can you tell me why this is so? Microsoft recommend using UTF8 for
encoding, but it does not seem to work in this case.
thanks,
Arun

Hi Arun,
You are not saving and reading the file using the same Encoding.
If you do not specify encoding the StreamWriter/Reader will default to UTF8,
but other applications often default to the code page used by your current
locale, Encoding.Defaul t (ANSI). For instance, Notepad uses ANSI encoding if
not told otherwise.
Check your reading/writing code. If both reading and writing uses UTF8, do
other parts of your program, or other applications, create the file in
question?

Happy Coding!

Hi , all
I'm trying to write unicode to a file for another app (not developed with
vs2003) to read it. I used StreamWriter with unicode encoding.but I was
surprised that the streamwriter adds FFFE to the start of the file,which
stopes the other app from reading it!!
any idea how to stope it frome doing that,do I have to use another class
#####writer that supports unicode?
help me Please!
Thanks

Hi all. I have a c# app that sometimes writes to a textfile. Sometimes
the text contains the swedish letters åäö. In the app these letters look
ok, but when StreamWriter has written them to the file they look like
shit. Some encoding mismatch is happening here I suspect, but I cant
find it.
I run English version of XP with swedish regional settings everywhere I
can find them :-).
Any hints would be much appreciated. Thanx

Hello,
i have a big problem with my email component, because each time i write the
generated message directly to the spooler, the streamwriter will write in
Unicode.
The file starts with a FF FE and is double byte.
This is a problem because when a mail server like QMAIL receive the message,
will reject for malformed LF.

Hi,
I've got a problem using StreamReader in VB.NET.
I try to read a txt file that contains extended characters and theese

I've read a lot of articles about ANSI encoding like this

Hi,
I have double byte characters in the content that I am returning using Web

I implemented SoapExtension (called EncodingExtension) to rewrite the xml to

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
