In Visual Studio:

1. Open Package Manager Console and type in Install-Package System.Text.Encoding.CodePages -Version 4.4.0. Change the version number appropriately.

2. Add this line to your code: Encoding.RegisterProvider(CodePagesEncodingProvider.Instance);

3. Attach the necessary directive if required.
