I have the following code
for (byte i = 126; i < 159; i++

char c = (char)i
textBox1.Text += i + " " + c +" \r\n";

But this shows me no Umlaut (ä,ö,ü
How can I enable that I can get some umlaut's out of this?

"Extended ASCII" never had any standardized way of where to map "our"
letters.

A char in .NET is using Unicode, which for us northern folks means that our
letters is in the area much further up in the list, e.g.:

214:Ö
220:Ü
228:ä
229:å
246:ö
252:ü

Maybe you've heard of Latin-1, which is included in Unicode.

You need to work out what encoding the original stream was written in.
It may well have been written in the default encoding for your
platform, in which case you need to specify Encoding.Default when you
create the reader on the stream.
