Problem with encoding in dataload/-export

I am writing an application with a dataload class. The
development is done in Windows XP, and on the development
Pc I can do a dataload and export without any problems if
I use System.Text.UTF 8Encoding on the datastream for
writing. The datafile is still in windows standard
codepage, also for the special chars for Scandinavia
(e.g. æ,ø,å).

However, when I transfer my application to a Pc running
Windows 2000, the special chars are converted to
gibberish (the lower ASCII chars are handled just fine).
Now, to handle it I have then tried to run the export
with UTF7Encoding, ASCIIEncoding and finally
UnicodeEncoding - none of them works for the special
chars and some not at all. Is there any other encoding I
should use?

I have also thought that the problem might not be in the
export but in the loading of the data (i.e. is the
datafile read correctly). For the dataload I use the
OleDbDatareader . As far as I can see, the OleDBDataReader
or OleDbConnection , does not include a property to
control Encoding for the load. I guess it could also be
something that is set as part of the the connection
string and not a regular property. But on Windows XP
where I develop and test I only need to control the
encoding for the StreamWriter and not for the load.

Help will be much appreciated.
With kind regards,

Frank M.
