Hi,
what IO class or encoding writes a + umlaut (ä) as 1 character to a file?
Looks like streamwriters don't, should I use binarywriter?
Thanx in advance

The umlaut character is a single byte character, but strings in .NET are by default Unicode strings. Maybe try using the ASCII encoder(look at the ASCIIEncoding class) and then writing to the stream.

No, the ascii encoding only takes 7 bits, for a + umlaut you need 8 bits.

StreamWriter should work find as long as you initialize it with the
appropriate Encoding.

Please reply only to the newsgroup.
No, it doesn't. a + umlaut is written something like Ã".

Depending on where you live, pass 'Encoding.Defau lt' to the
'StreamWriter's constructor.

I tried several encoding settings in streamwriter. None gave me a+umlaut.

Hi,
I have an Html document that declares that it uses the utf-8 character

language allows me to get the ascii value for any individual character
so what I am doing when a change is saved is to look at each character

I'm writting (or trying to) a Console Application in C#. I has to be

I used to use a program (its name i cannot recall now...) where I designed
the "screen" using this "program" and then saved it into an ASCII file.
(thus, using 'extended' ASCII's like Lines, Corners, etc. and making
screens look nicer and more professional). Then reading a...

Is that because such a function does not exists or do I overlook it?
I found Encoding.Convert, but that needs byte arrays.

I have the following code section that I thought would strip out all the
non-ascii characters from a string after decoding it. Unfortunately the
non-ascii characters are still in the string.
What am I doing wrong?
Dim plainText As String
plainText = "tâ•e"
Dim plainTextBytes() As Byte
Dim enc As Encoding = Encoding.ASCII
plainTextBytes = enc.GetBytes(plainText)
