If you use Encoding.Default,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemTextEncodingClassDefaul...
then .NET uses the current 'ANSI' codepage:
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference...
from windows system settings and this is often 1252.

To use exactly 1252, write
Encoding ec1252 = Encoding.GetEncoding( 1252 );
