Property Value

This property only specifies what text encoding is to be used in the main zip headers, not the Unicode, UTF8Filename and UTF8Comment extra headers.

Note that for each item written, the property's value is only used if non-ASCII characters are detected in the filename or comment.

In most cases, the default value is sufficient. Using any value other than TextEncoding.Standard breaks backward compatibility with Zip utilities and libraries that do not support different text encodings in the standard zip headers. In practice, these 3rd party utilities might display a filename differently than expected and the behavior might change depending on the native language of the target machine.

For this reason, the UTF8Filename and UTF8Comment extra headers that are always enabled provide a much better solution, as they are simply ignored by zip tools and libraries
that do not support them.

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
