How do I set the utf

[Phil Hunt]

The following is what I have :

XmlWriterSettin gs xmlSettings = new XmlWriterSettin gs();
xmlSettings.Ind ent = true;
xmlSettings.Ind entChars = " ";
xmlSettings.Enc oding = System.Text.Enc oding.UTF8;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder() ;
using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Creat e(sb, xmlSettings))

============
The problem I have is the xml comes out with
<?xml Version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

It really does not matter what I have in the xmlSettings, it always comes
out utf-16.

???? What am i missing ?????

Thanks.

You are writing to a string builder. All strings in .NET are unicode
(UTF-16) so it doesn't matter what encoding you set on settings because
there isn't any encoding to be done.

If you were writing to a File or some other stream it would work.

You need a StringWriterWit hEncoding, rather than passing in a
StringBuilder directly.

The StringWriterWit hEncoding code is really simple though:

public class StringWriterWit hEncoding : StringWriter
{
Encoding encoding;
public StringWriterWit hEncoding (Encoding encoding)
{
this.encoding = encoding;
}

public override Encoding Encoding
{
get { return encoding; }
}
}

You could add other constructor overloads should you wish, of course.
