    <p>I got a file with characters like these: à, è, ì, ò, ù - À. What i need to do is replace those characters with normal characters eg: à = a, è = e and so on..... This is my code so far:</p> <pre><code>StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(@"C:/JoinerOutput.csv"); string path = @"C:/Joiner.csv"; string line = File.ReadAllText(path); if (line.Contains("à")) { string asAscii = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Encoding.Convert(Encoding.UTF8, Encoding.GetEncoding(Encoding.ASCII.EncodingName, new EncoderReplacementFallback("a"), new DecoderExceptionFallback()), Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(line))); Console.WriteLine(asAscii); Console.ReadLine(); sw.WriteLine(asAscii); sw.Flush(); } </code></pre> <p>Basically this searches the file for a specific character and replaces it with another. The problem that i am having is that my if statement doesn't work. How do i go about solving this? </p> <p>This is a sample of the input file:</p> <pre> Dimàkàtso Mokgàlo Màmà Ràtlàdi Koos Nèl Pàsèkà Modisè Jèrèmiàh Morèmi Khèthiwè Buthèlèzi Tiànà Pillày Viviàn Màswàngànyè Thirèshàn Rèddy Wàdè Cornèlius ènos Nètshimbupfè </pre> <p>This is the output if use : line = line.Replace('à', 'a'); :</p> <pre> Ch�rl�n� Kirst�n M�m� R�tl�di Koos N�l P�s�k� Modis� J�r�mi�h Mor�mi Kh�thiw� Buth�l�zi Ti�n� Pill�y Vivi�n M�sw�ng�ny� Thir�sh�n R�ddy W�d� Corn�lius �nos N�tshimbupf� </pre> <p>With my code the symbol will be removed completely</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
