Cheers all and especially those that gave me a kick up the backside a bit ago to pull my finger out and yes it’s so good to get the exam out of the way as I really struggle with it to be honest. Celebratory Pizza tonight with the missus and out on the lash on Saturday with my mates for a baby head wetting session. sweet

Next up is Hyper-V exam as I got one of those free vouchers and have my exam booked late November so hopefully get that done and then ITIL in the new year.

MCTS 70-536 Exam Help!! Encoding Issue

Hi,

I am currently working through exam 70-536 of the MCTS cert and would be grateful if someone could provide me with some assistance in one of the lab exercises.

In chapter 3 exercise 1, I am required to create a console application that will convert a text file (win.ini) to UTF-7 encoding.

The C# code for this is as follows:-

StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(@”C:\windows\win.ini”);
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(“win-utf7.txt”, false, Encoding.UTF7);
sw.WriteLine(sr.ReadToEnd());
sw.Close();
sr.Close();

I have tried to run this code and included the System.IO namespace, however I get the following error:-

“The type or namespace name ‘UTF7′ does not exist in the namespace ‘Encoding’ (are you missing an assembly reference?)”

If a reference is required, I am not sure how to add this, can someone please point me in the right direction?

Kind regards

If this is copied out of a copyrighted book, please remove.

Apart from that, take a look here as this may help.

That did not work.

Which reference do I need to add?? as there are soo many!

Kind regards

If you can’t add an assembly reference to a project you need to take a step back and start with the basics before you begin certification.

Its all about the baby steps !
