Convert text encoded with character referense ({) to unicode or uft-8

[Daniel Köster]

Is there someone who has got some tips on how to convert text encoded with
character referense ({) to unicode or uft-8 format using VB.net? Is
there a function or something that can help with the conversion?

To use a simple replace "this" with "that" is not an option since there are
som asian-texts that I need to convert as well. (chinese, thai and
japanese;
the replace list would be to large to handle)

What i want to do is to be able to compare a file coded with character
references (i.e. {) with a file coded with normal unicode characters
(i.e. ö,ä,å)

Best regards
Daniel

Just do "normal" parsing to find the to start with, then use
Substring (or whatever) to get the xxx bit, parse it as an integer
(Int32.Parse or Convert.ToInt32) and cast the result to a character.
