String representation in c#

Question

im tring to grab some text from existing webpage using this method :

  try
        {

            WebClient client = new WebClient();
            result = client.DownloadString(url);
            int start = result.IndexOf("startpointstr") ;

            end = result.IndexOf("EndpointStr");

            result = result.Substring(start, end - start);
          string.Format(
            MessageBox.Show(result);


        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            // handle error
             MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);

        }

in the positive side it works for english but for languages like Hebrew it returns unrecognised chars (not an hebrew language ) is there a way to reformat the returned string ?

Answer 1

Use the WebClient.Encoding Property to set the resource's encoding.

client.Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
