Specify encoding XmlSerializer

Question

I've a class correctly defined and after serialize it to XML I'm getting no encoding. How can I define encoding "ISO-8859-1"? Here's a sample code ``` var xml = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Transacao)); var file = new FileStream(Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "transacao.xml"),FileMode.OpenOrCreate); xml.Serialize(file, transacao); file.Close(); ``` Here are the beginning of xml generated ```

Accepted Answer

The following should work:

```
var xml = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Transacao));

var fname = Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "transacao.xml");
var appendMode = false;
var encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-1");

using(StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fname, appendMode, encoding))
{
    xml.Serialize(sw, transacao);
}
```

If you don't mind me asking, why do you need `ISO-8859-1` encoding in particular? You could probably use `UTF-8` or `UTF-16` (they're more commonly recognizable) and get away with it.
