I am trying to save a file using DialogResult and StringBuilder. After making the text, I am calling the following code to save the file:

 if (dr == DialogResult.OK)  {     StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(saveFileDialog1.FileName);     sw.Write(sb.ToString());   sw.Close();  }

I tried to add the second parameter to StreamWriter as Encoding.UTF8 but since the first argument is a string rather than a Stream, it does not compile it.

How can I convert that string to a stream to be able to pass the second parameter as Encoding?

The reason for this, is that somewhere in my text I have µ but when the file is saved it shows like Î¼ so the µ is getting screwd!

Thanks
