Question

Is it possible to set custom encoding when loading pages with the method below?

HtmlWeb hwWeb = new HtmlWeb();
HtmlDocument hd = hwWeb.load("myurl");

I want to set encoding to “iso-8859-9”.

I use C# 4.0 and WPF.

Edit: The question has been answered on MSDN.

I suppose you could try overriding the encoding in the HtmlWeb object.

Try this:

var web = new HtmlWeb
{
    AutoDetectEncoding = false,
    OverrideEncoding = myEncoding,
};
var doc = web.Load(myUrl);

Note: It appears that the OverrideEncoding property was added to HTML agility pack in revision 76610 so it is not available in the current release v1.4 (66017). The next best thing to do would be to read the page manually with the encodings overridden.
