how to save file in UTF-16 encoding format in Vb.net

Hi all,

In vb.net when we save unicode files by default it is saved in UTF-8 , can any one tell me how to save the files in UTF-16 encoding format...

I think you can use the StreamWriter :

 Dim sw As New IO.StreamWriter("c:\hannes.txt", True)
        MessageBox.Show(sw.Encoding.ToString())
        sw.Close()

      Dim sw As New IO.StreamWriter("c:\hannes.txt", True, System.Text.Encoding.UTF32)
        sw.WriteLine("Hello")
        sw.Close()

Dim sw As New IO.StreamWriter("c:\hannes.txt", True)
MessageBox.Show(sw.Encoding.ToString())
sw.Close()

this gives the default encoding used by the streamwriter to write into a file, not the encoding used by the file.
