[Mono-list] System.Text.Encoding and StreamReader

[Andy Hume]

StreamReader wants an Encoding, so create a suitable one and pass it in! :-) 
To create an Encoding see its GetEncoding method.  You want to pass in
"iso-8859-15" or 28605.  For example:

StreamReader srAsciiFromFile = new StreamReader(@"testfile.csv",
System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-15"));
