problem with encoding

[Vaidas Gudas]

Code:

Dim enc As New System.Text.ASCIIEncoding

Dim serverbuff(1024), buff(0) As Byte

Dim count, bytes As Integer

Dim stream As NetworkStream

stream = o.GetStream()

While 1 = 1

bytes = stream.Read(buff, 0, 1)

If bytes = 1 Then

serverbuff(count) = buff(0)

count = count + 1

If buff(0) = Asc(vbLf) Then

Exit While

End If

Else

Exit While

End If

End While

Return enc.GetString(serverbuff, 0, count)

I am using POP 3 protocol and I am rading the data from exchange server.
I am geting the data from POP3 in string format, but some character, witch
it is not Latin characters is enncoded, and I need to decode to Lithuanian
character set. How to make this.

Don't use US-ASCII. That's 7 bit only and no good for most European languages.
You should be using the encoding specified by mail's headers.

How to make encoding like this

Content-Type: text/plain;

charset="iso-8859-2"

Use System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding() to create an Encoding instance by
its IANA name, e.g.

Encoding latin2 = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-2");

It dont work

Well, that line of code definitely *does* work. If something else
doesn't work, you need to give us more information.

Could you post a short but complete program which demonstrates the
problem?

See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/complete.html for details of
what I mean by that.
