I don't understand what is missing here. I am trying to export a file in csv format with extended ASCII
characters like ÿ
or ü
but all i get is �
Do I need to specify something else in the response?
Encoding encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
//ToCSV writes the string correctly
var bytes = encoding.GetBytes("write ÿ or ü please");
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(bytes);
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream);
//TextWriter tw = new TextWriter();
Response.Clear();
Response.Buffer = true;
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", string.Format("attachment;filename={0}.csv", fileName));
Response.Charset = encoding.EncodingName;
Response.ContentType = "application/text";
Response.Output.Write(reader.ReadToEnd());
Response.Flush();
Response.End();
To save a file with encodingFrom the File menu, choose Save File As, and then click the drop-down button next to the Save button. The Advanced Save Options dialog box is displayed. Under Encoding, select the encoding to use for the file. Optionally, under Line endings, select the format for end-of-line characters.
On Windows computers - the easiest way to do this is as follows: Open the file using Notepad. Click "File > Save As". In the dialog window that appears - select "UTF-8" from the "Encoding" field.
I believe you should add Response.ContentEncoding = Encoding.Unicode
to get right output.
Encoding encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
var bytes = encoding.GetBytes("write ÿ or ü please");
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(bytes);
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream);
Response.Clear();
Response.Buffer = true;
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", string.Format("attachment;filename={0}.csv", "filename"));
Response.Charset = encoding.EncodingName;
Response.ContentType = "application/text";
Response.ContentEncoding = Encoding.Unicode;
Response.Output.Write(reader.ReadToEnd());
Response.Flush();
Response.End();
Unfortunately Encoding.Unicode
didn't work, using Windows-1252
worked :
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "Application/x-msexcel";
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=\"filename.csv\"");
Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("Windows-1252");
Response.Write(string.Join(Environment.NewLine, myDataLines));
Response.End();
