Convert oem chars to ansi help...

[Anthony Boudouvas]

Hi to all,

can anyone tells me what is the correct way from the framework
to convert OEM characters to Ansi (and the opposite) ??

I mean, i am building an SMS infrastructure and one part of
it is to send sms through the help of Nokia PC Connectivity SDK.
The problem is that when the user enter Greek characters in a
textbox, they reach as empty chars in the phone,
so i have to convert them to Ansi (i guess) before sending them.

Has anyone have a solution to this ?

Thanks a lot!

You will need to use the System.Text namespace. Look at the Encoders.
You'll need to encode from the correct OEM charset, to the correct ANSI
charset (which I believe there are quite a few).
