StreamWriter's problem - Visual Basic .NET

MrKrich

I try to use the StreamWriter to write from file reader
(my file reader is not a text file) and I got this error
message

streamWriter.Write(fileReader.ReadToEnd)

"Found a high surrogate char without a following low
surrogate at index: 325. The input may not be in this
encoding, or may not contain valid Unicode (UTF-16)
characters."
I don't know what does it mean. Can anybody help?

Hi,

Ensure the reader has been created with the character encoding corresponding
to that of the actual source file content. If, say, your file is in ASCII or
in Windows-1252, reading it as a Unicode file will obviously fail.
