Save all files in Visual Studio project as UTF-8

Question

I wonder if it's possible to save all files in a Visual Studio 2008 project into a specific character encoding. I got a solution with mixed encodings and I want to make them all the same (UTF-8 with signature).

I know how to save single files, but how about all files in a project?

Answer 1

Since you're already in Visual Studio, why not just simply write the code?

foreach (var f in new DirectoryInfo(@"...").GetFiles("*.cs", SearchOption.AllDirectories)) {   string s = File.ReadAllText(f.FullName);   File.WriteAllText (f.FullName, s, Encoding.UTF8); } 

Only three lines of code! I'm sure you can write this in less than a minute :-)
