How to parse special chars

[Aljaz111]

I have to parse html with charset=iso-8859-2. I am getting html string now like this:

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(http://www.koroska-on.net/index.php?option=com\_glossary&func=display&letter=All&Itemid=0&catid=66&page=1);
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

Stream resStream = response.GetResponseStream();

int count = 0;
byte[] buffer = new byte[8192];
do
{
count = resStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);

            if (count != 0)
            {

                tempString = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(buffer, 0, count);
                html += tempString;
            }
        }
        while (count > 0);

Now specials are showed like ? or smt, because they aren't in ASCII range. How could i parse it with special chars showed normally? Thanks, Bye

You asked for it in ASCII, perhaps you should use Unicode.

Seems like ISO 8859-2[^] stands for the Central European character set. So I would go for an 8-bit encoding, most likely new Encoding(12xx) is all it takes. It certainly won't work properly with ASCII, as that only accepts character codes [0, 127]. For you to read[^]. :)

Happy New Year to all.
We hope 2010 soon brings us automatic PRE tags!
Until then, please insert them manually.

Ok i did it like this:

Encoding e=Encoding.GetEncoding(1250);

Still all chars aren't showed as they should be. One of them is showed right..for others I used replace:(. Thanks
