Question

I have a string which looks like:

 À l'intérieur

But it needs to be:

 À l'intérieur

I tried changing the conversion. I know it’s read as ASCII encoding. So I tried using the code:

      ASCIIEncoding ASCII  = new System.Text.ASCIIEncoding();
      Byte[] BytesMessage = ASCII.GetBytes(Title);
      Title = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(BytesMessage);

I tried switching between the different encodings but it didn’t help much.
Is there a way to fix this?

Thx!

To transcode HTML encoded strings like this use System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Title). You’ll need to reference System.Web if this is not a Web application.
