Convert Unicode string to EBCDIC

[Guest]

Hi,

Could someone pls tell me how to convert a Unicode string to EBCDIC
Intenational.
Is WideCharToMultiByte API is the only way? how do we use it.
Can the Encoding class method GetEncoding(CodePage) be used to achieve the
same result.

Thanks,

System.Text.Encoding should do the trick:

// Let's try state-of-the-art EBCDIC 1047 ;-)
Encoding enc = Encoding.GetEncoding(20924);
byte[] bytes = enc.GetBytes("500 €");
