Re: Unicode Character Issue

Hello -

There is an overloaded constructor that takes an Encoding (e.g.
System.Text.UnicodeEncoding). Visual Basic treats all strings as
Unicode so if you do a ReadLine() to a String it should work.

Hi

I am trying to read text files that are saved in ANSI format with Unicode
characters such as French e German big S etc, and as I read the file these
characters appear as squares etc.

I know that if the file would be saved as Unicode this wouldn't be a
problem.

The question is whether there is an option that when I create the Stream
Reader the application will recognize it as Unicode characters.

Thank you,
Samuel
