[thelist] ASP.NET: & charector problems using StreamWriter

[VOLKAN ÖZÇELİK]

Seems like a localization quirk :)

If so, this may help:

----
Encoding locale = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(Constant.CODEPAGE);
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(sourcePath,locale);
String strCompress = sr.ReadToEnd();
sr.Close();
Compress(ref strCompress);
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(destinationPath, false, locale);
sw.Write(strCompress);
sw.Close();
---

Where Constant is my pre-defined class. and CODEPAGE refers to the
windows code page (most probably for you it is 1252 or 1254)

The code above is extracted from my article
(http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/JSCodeCompressor.asp) in case you
may want to see it in action.

HTH
