Hi,

I've just started using C# Builder (Personal) in an XP Home environment and
am having problems with generating marked Unicode files. When I pass a
"true" value as the second parameter to UnicodeEncoding I don't get a mark
added to the beginning of the file. Here's the example code I use,

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;

namespace WriteFile
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Summary description for Class.
    /// </summary>
    class Class
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// The main entry point for the application.
        /// </summary>
        [STAThread]
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //
            // TODO: Add code to start application here
            //
            string [] path = {@"c:\UnicodeLEM.txt",
                             @"c:\UnicodeLE.txt",
                             @"c:\UnicodeBEM.txt",
                             @"c:\UnicodeBE.txt"};

            for (int i=0 ; i<4 ; i++)
            {
                if (File.Exists(path[i]))
                    File.Delete(path[i]);

                using (FileStream f = File.Create(path[i]))
                {
                    AddText(i,f,"This is a test");
                }
            }
        }

        private static void AddText(int i,FileStream fs, string value)
        {
            byte[] info = null;

            switch (i)
            {
                case 0: info = new
UnicodeEncoding(false,true).GetBytes(value);
                        break;
                case 1: info = new
UnicodeEncoding(false,false).GetBytes(value);
                        break;
                case 2: info = new
UnicodeEncoding(true,true).GetBytes(value);
                        break;
                case 3: info = new
UnicodeEncoding(true,false).GetBytes(value);
                        break;
            }

            fs.Write(info, 0, info.Length);
        }

    }
}

In all cases the "info.Length" is 28 bytes, I'd expect them to be 30 bytes f
or marked items.

Anyone have an idea what's going wrong.

Cheers

Simon
