You need to go about creating your File and StreamWriter differently. File.CreateText is basically a shortcut method that creates a StreamWriter that uses UTF8Encoding only. To change the Encoding, you need to be more explicit in your code. Like so: <codeSnippet language="C#"> // Open the file stream Stream fileStream = File.Create(@"c:\out.txt"); // Choose Encoding here when constructing the StreamWriter StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(fileStream, Encoding.ASCII); ... writer will output ASCII data now ... </codeSnippet> HTH, Drew You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
