XML Encode Help.

userpingz · 10-29-2009, 02:46 AM

Hi all,

i am develop a small tool with C# for converting the ASCII format xml file to UTF-8 format.

What's the different for the below two line? Which one is better to use.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ascii"?>

Code:

            XmlDeclaration xmldecl;

            ......

            xmldecl = doc.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0", "us-ascii", null);

Thanks in advance.

BR!

Pingz

Neither of them, don't you think?
If you want to use UTF-8 encoding you use:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

ascii is a subset of UTF-8 and us-ascii is simply another name for ascii.
