Oh, sorry I didn't actually mean you should use ASCIIEncoding since, as you found out, it only supports 7 bits. The example was just meant to show how to choose an Encoding for the StreamWriter. If you want the windows 1252 codepage you should create the Encoding like so: <codeSnippet language="C#"> Encoding windows1252Encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(1252); </codeSnippet> Just pass that to the constructor instead of the Encoding.ASCII and the rest of the code remains the same.
