Auto change in Encoding - XmlReader, XmlDocument, StringWriter

[xmlguy]

This is part of the application that reads XML from file
(that has UTF-8) into an XmlTextReader

XmlTextReader myXmlReader = new XmlTextReader(args[0]);

It then instantiates an object/class instance Render where
this constructor gets called with "that" XmlReader.

public Render(XmlReader cleanxmldoc)

{

XmlDocument XmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
System.IO.StringWriter sw = new System.IO.StringWriter();

/*
sw.Encoding.Equals(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
string dd = sw.Encoding.GetEncoder().ToString();
Console.WriteLine(dd);
sw.Encoding.EncodingName.Equals("UTF8");
sw.Encoding.GetDecoder();
dd = sw.Encoding.GetEncoder().ToString();
*/

XmlDoc.Load(cleanxmldoc);
XmlDoc.Save(sw);
xstring = sw.ToString();

(When I look at the output somewhere between in these
lines it went from UTF8 to UTF 16) How I dont know?
How can I detect where ? and How can I control it.

I have commented some lines above, they compile but dont
do much in the detection or control that I want.

Strings in the .NET Framework are always encoded in UTF-16. A good
description of the reasons for the problem you are facing are at
