Replacing special Chars in a String c#
I have been working on a c# french desktop application. Unfortunately iTextSharp, which is an open source java library for PDF generation written entirely in C# for the .NET platform, do not allow to print special chars (é, è, ç …etc.) properly.
Happily, I found this very useful piece of code in the Internet and I want to share it with you:
