Richard,

Default represents the system default ANSI codepage.

'Default' is "Windows ANSI".

Hello there, I'm writting (or trying to) a Console Application in C#. I has to be console. I remember back in the old days of Cobol (Unisys), Clipper and even Basic, 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...

Hi, I am trying to output a string of chinese characters as a text file. When I open a file for writing from VB, the file is automatically set to UTF-8 encoding (can tell by opening the file from notepad). However, when I open this file from a Chinese program that does not support unicode, garbage is displayed. So what I have to do is to first use Notepad to change the encoding of the file to ANSI encoding, then the file would be...

Hi, I've got a problem using StreamReader in VB.NET. I try to read a txt file that contains extended characters and theese are removed from the line that is being read.

Hi, I'm in the process if converting the data out of an old DOS-based SunAccounts system (don't ask!) into SQL Server. The data has been sent to me as a collection of hundreds of SunAccounts backup files and it's a simple (yet extremely laborious!) process of opening each backup file in turn, reading the file line by line, splitting it up into its constituent parts, and then squirting it into SQL Server.

I have written an application which uses a streamwriter to create which is exported to a third party system. The third party system does not appear to process the files in its original format. I have identified this as resulting from the streamwriter outputing in Unicode. If I open the text file using notepad and save it with the default 'ansi' type the import works fine. How can I convert the initial file to ansi. Thanks in advance...

Hello there, I am dealing with files encoded in UTF8 and I can't find a way to convert them into ANSI.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
