Hi guys,
I have the following code that retrieves a webpage.
My problem is getting it to use the right encoding.
I've tested it against a danish page, but it won't show the danish
characters. When I set it to sniff the encoding (using
sr = New System.IO.StreamReader(strm, True)
) it sets it to UTF8, but when I browse the page using MSIE with
auto-selection of encoding, it uses Western European (and displays the danish
chars correctly).
Any ideas?
The code:
' Create a new WebRequest Object to the mentioned URL.
Dim myWebRequest As System.Net.WebRequest =
System.Net.WebRequest.Create(txtUrl.Text)
' Set the 'Timeout' property in Milliseconds.
myWebRequest.Timeout = 10000
Dim encode As System.Text.Encoding =
System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("Unicode")
' Assign the response object of 'WebRequest' to a 'WebResponse'
variable.
Dim myWebResponse As System.Net.WebResponse =
myWebRequest.GetResponse()
Dim strm As System.IO.Stream
Dim sr As System.IO.StreamReader
Dim line As String
strm = myWebResponse.GetResponseStream()
sr = New System.IO.StreamReader(strm, True)
'sr = New System.IO.StreamReader(strm, encode)
MsgBox("Encoding: " & sr.CurrentEncoding.ToString)
txtSrc.Text = ""
Do
line = sr.ReadLine()
txtSrc.Text += line
Loop While Not line Is Nothing
