Character does not convert in C#

Question

I am converting a program to C# from VB.NET. The last character of the field (from a DB) below does not come back correctly. It has a tilde or something over the "E".

I have "BAULÉ" that does not get converted correct in C# but did in VB.NET.

I am using StreamWriter and tried Encoding and nothing seem to work.

Do you have any idea what to do?

Thanks,
arep

Well I'm virtually certain that it's an encoding problem but unless the encoding was set specifically with VB.NET then it's difficult to see why it wouldn't work in C# as well. The default encoding for StreamWriter is UTF8 which can handle any unicode character. However BAULÉ looks like it might be a French name so I'd try Windows 1252: var sw = new StreamWriter(filePath Encoding.GetEncoding(1252));
