Help with encoding and syntax

Question

Hi I'm new to C# so please forgive this basic question. I would like to insert a variable into the line below at System.Text.Encoding.Unicode TextWriter tw = new streamWriter(fileNamefalseSystem.Text.Encoding.Unicode); I also want to use the following as variables: System.Text.Encoding.ASCII System.Text.Encoding.UTF8 I would like to assign each encoding as a variable so I can insert the variable I require. Example: TextWriter tw = new streamWriter(fileNamefalsemyVerUnicode); How do I go about declaring the variables and using the variable in the above line? Many thanks.

To use a variable try: using System.Text; ...... Encoding myVerUnicode = Encoding.Unicode; TextWriter tw = new streamWriter(fileName false myVerUnicode); The declaration of the other variables would be: Encoding myVerAscii = Encoding.ASCII; Encoding myVerUtf8 = Encoding.UTF8;
