Add support of encodings for MPX files (C# .NET)

Aspose.Tasks Product Family

Hi, I’ve been working with Aspose.Task for .Net.

I want to read the mpx file encoded with iso-8859-1.
But, Aspose.Tasks.LoadOptions class don’t have encoding property…

Could anyone help me?
Thanks

@soohee Hello!

You can use the next approach:

using (StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader("Project.mpx", System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-1")))
{
    var project = new Project(streamReader.BaseStream);
}

Hello!!

I tried your solution… but, text is still broken.

my code here…

 // MPX requires iso-8859-1 to ANSI encoding process to recognize Korean 
 var name = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1").GetBytes(child.Get(Tsk.Name));
 var taskName = Encoding.GetEncoding("ks_c_5601-1987").GetString(name);

and attached a file.
mpx sample file.zip (1.7 KB)

Thanks…
