Spanish language text export

[trisuglow]

Hi,

I have a ListView which represents a shopping list and contains a number of items. I also have an <Export> button which, when clicked, writes all the items in the listview to a CSV file.

My problem is that when I test this on a Spanish Win2000 PC the displayed text in the list is output incorrectly.

e.g.
"Protección de carcasa"

is output as

"Protección de carcasa"



Does anybody have any suggestions?

Private Sub cmdExport_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
                                ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
                                                    Handles cmdExport.Click
        'Export the Shopping List in CSV format.
        Dim str As String
        Dim int As Integer
 
 
        If SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
            Dim strFile As String = SaveFileDialog1.FileName
            If strFile <> "" Then
                Dim swExport As StreamWriter
                Try
                    Dim utf8 As New System.Text.UTF8Encoding()
                    swExport = New StreamWriter(New FileStream(strFile, _
                                                FileMode.OpenOrCreate), utf8)
                    '"ProductCode,Description,LoopA,LoopB,LoopC,LoopD,Total"
                    swExport.WriteLine(GetText("exportFileHeader"))
 
                    Dim ShoppingListItem As ListViewItem
                    For Each ShoppingListItem In lvwShoppingList.Items
                        str = ""
                        For int = 0 To 6
                            str &= ShoppingListItem.SubItems(int).Text & ","
                        Next int
                        'Remove the trailing "," from the string.
                        str = Mid(str, 1, str.Length - 1)
                        swExport.WriteLine(str)
                    Next ShoppingListItem
 
                Finally
                    swExport.Close()
                End Try
            End If
        End If
    End Sub
