xml encoding problems

[Neet]

Hi,
I am currently working on sending an XML request to a server and it responds with an xml response. This request and response use ISO-8859-1 encoding. The xml request and response need to match. The Response i get, replaces some of the French text with <e9> characters, and the request that i send them has <c3><a9> as the characters which identify the French text. When i convert both to a string, they return the identical text, but the xml for both dont match because of the difference in the encoding text.

Can anyone tell me why that might be happening and how i can solve it?

Thanks,
Neet

I don't know ISO-8859-1 encoding, can it be that <e9> and <c3><a9> represent
the same character?
In this case it's likely that server prefer encode it with <e9>.
If you encode your request using <e9> to match server behavior.
SystemXml use System.Text.Encoding for all encoding it does.
