[RESOLVED] Text Encoding

Hi!

I was trying to read some file that is encoded with UTF-8 and save it as UTF-16 (Unicode) but it seems not to be fully working as all accents seem to vanish or are encoded to something that can not be read.

Here is the code that i am using:

Code:

---

    Public Function GetFileContents(ByVal FullPath As String, Optional ByRef ErrInfo As String = "") As Object
        Dim strContents As String
        Dim objReader As StreamReader
        Try
            objReader = New StreamReader(FullPath, Encoding.UTF8)
            strContents = objReader.ReadToEnd()
            objReader.Close()
            Return strContents
        Catch Ex As Exception
            ErrInfo = Ex.Message
            Return ErrInfo
        End Try
    End Function

    Public Function SaveTextToFile(ByVal strData As String, ByVal FullPath As String, Optional ByVal ErrInfo As String = "") As Boolean
        Dim bAns As Boolean = False
        Dim objReader As StreamWriter
        Try
            objReader = New StreamWriter(FullPath, False, System.Text.Encoding.Unicode)
            objReader.Write(strData)
            objReader.Close()
            bAns = True
        Catch Ex As Exception
            ErrInfo = Ex.Message
        End Try
        Return bAns
    End Function

My bad.
The reader should read as Encoding.Default and not as UTF-8
