Dear All,

May i know how can i make a conversion between BIG5 and GB encoding?

Thx in advance!

namespace:
System.Text.Encoding

description:
BIG5 -> Unicode -> GB2312

step details:
1. MyUnicodeString =
System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("BIG5").GetString(My_BIG5_ByteArray)

2. My_GB2312_ByteArray =
System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("GB2312").GetBytes(MyUnicodeString)

In the only one text I found in MSDN they state that some encodings are
not supported by some systems, so I don't know if "BIG5" and "GB2312"
will work in your computer.

If you just wish to translate traditional chars to simplified:
MySimplifiedUnicodeString =
StrConv(MyTraditionalUnicodeString,VbStrConv.SimplifiedChinese)
