Answer 1

ASCII does not include support for the ó character. Unless you have compelling reason otherwise, you should always use Unicode:

System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter(
    Path.Combine(AppSettings.Instance.Dpath, "notaventa.txt"), true, 
    System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);

Unrelated to your question: You should use Path.Combine (rather than explicit string concatenation) for constructing file paths. It would save you the headache of determining whether to include the leading/trailing \ or not.
