IIRC System.Text.Encoding.Default maps to ANSI

///////////////////
Option Strict On

Imports System.IO
Imports System.Text

Module Module1

Sub Main()
Dim text As String = "hello, world"

Using stream As New
FileStream(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.S pecialFolder.Desktop)
& "/file.txt", FileMode.Create)
Dim bytes As Byte() = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(text)
stream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length)
End Using
End Sub

End Module
/////////////

Thanks,

Specify the appropriate encoding in the 'StreamWriter' object's constructor.
'System.Text.Encoding.Default' will give you the system's Windows ANSI
codepage. 'System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(...)' will give you a certain
Windows ANSI codepage.

As previous posters suggested, System.Text.Encoding.Default will give
you chance of encoding your text in ANSI format. Also beware that
opening your text in notepad and saving with default encoding is done
in ANSI.
