I’m using a StringWriter to construct a CSV from a GridView to email/output to the user, and I’m having some issues outputting the ‘£’ (GBP) sign – currently when it reads it from the GridView, it reads it as £, and this doesn’t get encoded to the correct sign in the CSV. If I do a string replace of the ASCII code with the actual symbol, I get a little closer – the symbol appears but it also has an accented ‘A’ before the symbol.
Any ideas?
£is the HTML Character entity for£, so I don’t know why aStringWriterwould know about it.You need to convert from HTML to text first, for example with
HttpUtility.HtmlDecode.
