How can I get the full list of encodings on Visual Studio 2013 ?

Question

After upgrading to Windows 10, VS2013 no longer shows the full list of encodings on the "Advanced save options" dialog on the "File" menu.

I need the UTF-8 encoding without signature (to keep accented characters in strings on source code).
It is a Windows 10 bug or there is some fix for that ?

 

Answer 1

Hmm, I have both VS2013 and VS2015 installed on Win10 and neither of them show this issue, they both display the usual encoding list that includes UTF-8 without signature.

Try a Visual Studio repair perhaps?

Answer 2

I think I found a solution: installing the us english language pack solved my problem. I just installed it, but i'm still using brazilian portuguese as default language.

I need the UTF-8 encoding without signature (to keep accented characters in strings on source code).

Independently from the fix, I'd suggest against using accented characters in string literals in source code. Storing localized strings in resources instead of directly in source code could be a better approach.

My 2 cents,
