Conversion of characters from UTF-8 to OEM

[KG]

Hello,

I use the c# wrapper to read eID cards.
The resulting data for example with getStreet() is always in UTF-8 ?
How can i write this data to a txt file with OEM encoding ?
I ask this because the txt file has to be read with a vb6 application
and for the moment i get "ë" where there has to be a "ë".

With kindly regards,

Kris

Hi Kris,

The data on the card is stored as utf8.
The c# and vb wrappers convert this to the c# and vb default strings (unicode 16)

For the text conversion functions, the following might help you :

Hello,

This was the solution for me :

Encoding enc = Encoding.GetEncoding(1252, new
EncoderReplacementFallback(" "), new DecoderReplacementFallback(" "));
StreamWriter tw = new StreamWriter(strFile, false, enc);

Wkr,

Kris
