Question

Hello guys for example when I open with notepad a text file it’s shows for example this characters (for me is ok this output)

"ÍÜÞ ËÀÉÍ ÑÈÍÅÌÀ"
"ÕÅÐÎÍ ÊÎÌÌÜÞÍÈÊÅÉØÍÇ"

But when I trying to read it with C#

OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog();
if (ofd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
     text = File.ReadAllText(ofd.FileName);
     textBox1.Text = text;
}

It shows

"��� ���� ������"
"����� ��������������"

Answer 1

You need to pass the right encoding to File.ReadAllText:

textBox1.Text = File.ReadAllText(ofd.FileName, encoding);

However, you’ll need to either know the encoding beforehand, or work it out with heuristics (there’ll always be a chance you’ll get the wrong one).

For your real use case, do you know what the encoding will be?
