• .NET Development StreamReader encoding detection problem

  I am having a problem with automatic BOM detection that used to work in 1.1. A trivial way to reproduce the problem is to do the following StreamReader sr = new StreamReader ( "c:\\somefile" , true ); If you put a breakpoint after this line of code and look at sr, you will see that its internal member _detectEncoding is false and as a result encoding detection is never done. I dont see (using Reflector) anything in the logic of ...Show All
