C will read a text file and store the Spanish characters (á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ, and ¿) as simple ASCII characters. No problem. C#, though, acts as if it's blind. The text string "bahía" read from a file comes out as "baha" and if I'm testing for spelling errors (I'm a Spanish teacher) it's no help. From what I can find on the Internet, the .NET system appears to render accented characters into more complex structures, but I can't find any examples or discussions about how to have C# read a Spanish string without omitting the accented characters. I tried loading the "using System.Globaliz ation" header and the code: -
CultureInfo myCIintl = new CultureInfo("es", false);
-
CultureInfo myCItrad = new CultureInfo( 0x000A, false );
but although their example code lines spit out information, nothing changed the omission of accented letters in my code's text reads.
I am using Windows XP home version and MS Visual Express 2005.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.

Is the problem that the characters are not DISPLAYED properly or not READ properly....?
[font=Verdana][size=2]I'm not sure. I don't know what sr.ReadLine has fetched until it shows with Console.WriteLi ne, so I don't know where the accented characters disappear.[/size][/font]

Often you will find that the correct value is stored, but that the character set you are printing with doesn't support the character so it LOOKS like it's wrong (you might like to look up how to use different chaarcter sets).
Incedently (as a point of slight interest), this is how many cyber hackers/hijackers fool people into thinking they're at a site they're not -> the address is displayed without accents so all they need to do is use a similar address to what they want to pretend to be....internall y, the browser can tell the difference but the user can't.....
I found the answer. If the .txt file is saved as a UTF-8 file, the accented characters will be read by C#.

Does anyone know of a bitmap/resource/image collection for a Spanish card
deck? I'm planning to create a new cardgame which requires this kind of
deck (prototyping in Python and possible final development in Delphi;
flames about my tool choices will be gently dropped into the bit bucket)
I'd be very thankful about any information regarding this matter.

There is surprisingly little information on the various encoding options for
reading a text file. I have what seems to be a very basic issue: I'm reading
a text file that includes Spanish characters such as "ñ". When I read the
file into a string, that character is missing. Encoding seems to be the
culprit. File writers SHOULD begin a file with the BOM (Byte Order Mark) to
let us know what encoding to read the file with, but most software...

Hello folks,
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.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
