File encoding - SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 20 years ago by GLarson

I noticed that if I load a Unicode file (Russian in this case), it still displays properly even though I specified System.Text.ASCIIEncoding for the Encoding param in Document.LoadFile().

Does LoadFile file try a 'best-guess' approach before considering the Encoding parameter?

Thanks.

If you use the LoadFile overload that accepts an Encoding, we do a File.OpenRead and then create a StreamReader on that stream and pass it the Encoding you specify. So what ever Microsoft does in their internal framework is what's happening at that point.
