bool success = false;

//  If the XML file specifies the encoding in the XML declaration, such as:
//  <?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-16" standalone = "no" ?>
//  Then it's simply a matter of calling LoadXmlFile.
//  Chilkat will automatically read the XML declaration and will
//  process the file correctly.   For example:

Chilkat.Xml xml = new Chilkat.Xml();
success = xml.LoadXmlFile("qa_data/xml/sample_ucs2.xml");

//  If, however, there is no XML declaration to indicate the character encoding,
//  then you must explicitly read the file according to what you know
//  is the correct encoding.  For example:
Chilkat.StringBuilder sb = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();
success = sb.LoadFile("qa_data/xml/sample_ucs2.xml","utf-16");
//  Assuming success...
success = xml.LoadSb(sb,true);

//  To convert to the XML from utf-16 to utf-8, do the following:
xml.Encoding = "utf-8";
Debug.WriteLine(xml.GetXml());
success = xml.SaveXml("qa_output/sample_utf8.xml");
