It supports anny encoding supported by Microsoft .NET framework. The application was tested with windows-1257, windows-1251 and utf-8 encodings.

if (inputF.ShowDialog()==DialogResult.OK)
{
FileStream fs=File.OpenRead(inputF.FileName);
byte[] bytes=new byte[fs.Length];
fs.Read(bytes,0,(int)fs.Length);
fs.Close();
Encoding inputEnc=Encoding.GetEncoding(enc.Text);
Encoding outputEnc=Encoding.GetEncoding(outEnc.Text);
byte[] decoded=Encoding.Convert(inputEnc,outputEnc,bytes,0,bytes.Length);
if (outputF.ShowDialog()==DialogResult.OK)
{
FileStream fw=File.OpenWrite(outputF.FileName);
fw.Write(decoded,0,(int)decoded.Length);
