Question Using Greek encoding

[satishputcha]

I have a VB.NET app where I am using the Webclient to download a remote file.

The file is in greek and I am not able to save the greek charset in the same format into the SQL DB. I have tried using GetEncoding(1252) but it has only given me data with odd symbols but not the Greek charsets.

Can anybody please point me in the right direction as to how I can use encoding or some other way to get and save the Greek chars?

Thanks and regards,
Satish

you set the WebClient.Encoding to Encoding.GetEnconding("iso-8859-7") ?

Note: 1252 is not the Greek codepage! 1252 is western, greek is 1253!
