Hi all,

I have a problem with a system.io.streamreader. I'm using the following code :

Dim sr As System.IO.StreamReader
sr = New System.IO.StreamReader(strPathAndFileProducts)

str = sr.ReadLine
sr.close

Reading normal text works fine however when the text contains special chars such as - àáâãäåæçèéêë - the streamreader does not read them. For example "Frühbuchen" reads as "Frhbuchen".

Is there some kind of setting in the streamreader to avoid this or perhaps another way to read the file. btw i'm using VB2003 (.net framework 1.1).
