Question

I have an ASP.NET web app running on a W2003 Server normally. The app copies a .txt file from a remote machine to the server. Afterwards the process rename the .txt file to .xml.

The problem has come when I tried to install the web in a W2008 R2 Server. Suddenly every latin character included in the .txt is not showing properly.

.txt -><TO>COMPROBACION CAMPAÑA</TO>
.xml -><TO>COMPROBACION CAMPA�A</TO>

My ASP.NET Globalization is set to False.

The Windows Server Language is Spanish in both servers (2003 and 2008).

Could anyone tell me what else can be?

Answer 1

Finally I found that the problem was reading the remote host file.

The old method

Dim stream_reader As New StreamReader(Fich, "ISO-8851", True)) 

The new method

Dim stream_reader As New StreamReader(Fich, Encoding.Default, True))

Now the xml file keeps the origin encoding. Nippey was right.

Thanks.
