String to Unicode

[Juan Pedro Gonzalez]

Helo,

I'm building a small class in order to send an email through DNS MX records.
Everything works out except some ISO-8859-1 characters that get screwed up.
In order to solve this problem, I think that I should change my string to a
unicode string:

For example 'a' with apostrophe to "=E1"... Wouldn't mind if it changed to
"%E1" as that would be a simple replace call.

I'd like to use a built in function, since I would like to leave the class
open to other charsets.

Thanks in advance

Juan,

In memory a "String" and a "Char" are always in Unicode in dotNet
applications.

And therefore I don't see the problem. Can you explain it a little bit more?

You may want to encode the message using MIME:

Notice that MIME doesn't directly have anything to do with Unicode.
