iOS Question UTF8 Encoding Of HTML Assets

[RichardN]

I am using this code to read some .htm files into an iWebView:

Private html As String = File.ReadString(File.DirAssets, HTMLfilename)
WebView1.LoadHtml(html)

The File.Readstring() function appears to throw an exception at any input file that is not encoded in UTF8. (Unable to read file. Incorrect coding).

I can of course load all my ANSI HTML files into MS Notepad and then save them as UTF8 but that is a complete PITA. Is there a simpler method that will read the ANSI files without the conversion ?

Yes. Use File.ReadString2 which allows you to set the charset (you probably need "windows-1255").
