Character encoding

[Ama]

Does anyone know how to change the character encoding for a project? I was hoping I wouldn't have to americanize all the European names in my project.

ok solved my problem by setting the encoding for the streamreader.

public List<string> getNames(string file)
        {
            List<string> list = new List<string>();
            StreamReader read = new StreamReader(file, Encoding.Default, true);
            string s;
            while ((s = read.ReadLine()) != null)            
                list.Add(s);

            return list;
        }
