[Mono-list] Re: Default Encoding for Console.In/Out/Err

[Alan Tam]

Thank you. This time I do the same thing as I did but it worked. Strange.
Maybe I did have a typo.

However, I found this way of setting the environment variable inconvenient.
I hope I could do it like this:

Console.SetOut(new StreamWriter(Console.OpenStandardError(),
Encoding.Default));

However, after the statement, all Console.Write() has gone somewhere else
instead of the orginal stdout. Do you know why?

Regards,
Alan
