Re: [xml] New user - UTF-16 issue

[James Hart <beeblebrox42 gmail com>]

I see, you said the resource has wide characters to begin with.  Do
you have a requirement that the resource must be stored encoded as
wide characters?  My suggestion is that you reload your resource into
the visual studio editor and you should have the option when you are
saving it to encode it into UTF16.  Then save the properly encoded
resource into your project.  Then when you load the resource in the
program as a binary resource you will have no need to convert it from
wide characters to utf16 before handing it off to libxml2.  Otherwise
you will need to lookup the Visual Studio's localization functions for
converting wide character data into UTF16 before handing it off to
libxml2.
