You can have something like this   switch  EncodingFormat Trim   ToLower                  case  utf-8               File WriteAllBytes fileName  ASCIIEncoding Convert ASCIIEncoding ASCII  new UTF8Encoding false   convertToCSV result  fileName                 break          case  utf-8 bom               File WriteAllBytes fileName  ASCIIEncoding Convert ASCIIEncoding ASCII  new UTF8Encoding true   convertToCSV result  fileName                 break          case  ISO-8859-1               File WriteAllBytes fileName  ASCIIEncoding Convert ASCIIEncoding ASCII  Encoding GetEncoding  iso-8859-1    convertToCSV result  fileName                 break          case

Wrap your StreamWriter with FileStream  this way   string fileName    test txt   string textToAdd    Example text in file   Encoding encoding   Encoding GetEncoding  ISO-8859-1      Or any other Encoding  using  FileStream fs   new FileStream fileName  FileMode CreateNew         using  StreamWriter writer   new StreamWriter fs  encoding                 writer Write textToAdd             Look at MSDN
