Streaming files and character sets

I made some code that exports some of the details of a magazine article to a link manager called Endnote

The format of which is a list of elements as shown below (author):

%A Schortgen Frédérique

Unfortunately I have some encoding issues somewhere, since when endnote opens the file, this is what it does from the aforementioned author:

Schortge Frà © dique

I was madly trying to play around with the encoding and the things I was outputting and I am at a loss, here is the code:

        Response.ContentType = _citation.ContentType;

        string fileExtension = "";
        if (_citation.GetFileExtension() != null)
            fileExtension = "." + _citation.GetFileExtension();

        Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=citation" + fileExtension);
        Response.ContentType = _citation.GetFileReferrer();
        Response.Charset = "UTF-8";
        Response.write(-snip-);
        Response.End();

It looks like Endnote is not expecting UTF-8. Do you have details of what the Endnote is in for? You may find that using Encoding.GetEncoding (1252) or Encoding.GetEncoding (28591) (which are Western encoding 1252 and ISO-8859-1 respectively) might work.



Btw, you are setting Response.ContentType twice. This sounds unlikely.

Response.Charset = "ISO-8859-1";            
Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(28591);
Response.HeaderEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(28591);


You sir, legend (one more time)
