context.Response.Charset = Encoding.UTF8.ToString();

asp.net, character-encoding, encoding

Solution

Context.Response.Charset = Encoding.UTF8.WebName;

Gets the name registered with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for the current encoding.

Problem

I had used this in my code to set the Charset but IE did not like it. Any reason why? context.Response.Charset = Encoding.UTF8.ToString(); I ended up having to set it to just context.Response.ContentType = "application/json;charset=utf-8" or context.Response.Charset = "utf-8"; instead. Not sure then what Encoding.UTF8.ToString(); would be utilized for if IE can't take it
