Hi Gaia,
You should do
byte[] p = Encoding.Unicode.GetPreamble();
And then test the first bytes in your file against these bytes for each possible encoding.
This may work for unicode encoded files since I believe they add a mark to the file to specify endianess. However, you are not guaranteed to detect the file encoding this way because
1: The encoding may not have an identifying mark.
2: Your file may not have an identifying mark.
I don't think any ANSI encoded files have an identifying mark.
