title: Is iso-8859-1 supported in Silverlight?
body: <p>this is a simple question: does Silverlight (3.0?) support this kind of encoding?  </p>
  
  <p><code>
  Encoding c = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1");
  </code></p>
  
  <p>Calling this function in Silverlight 3.0 generate the following error.</p>
  
  <p><code>
  'ISO-8859-1' is not a supported encoding name.
  Parameter name: name
  </code></p>
  
  <p>My idea is to parse some file client side and then upload only those part needed for my application. I know that I could upload the whole file and parse it server side but right now could be better having the feature client side (for my needs).
  <br/><br/>
  I'll wait for an answer. I have found some  information around but no one explictly said that isn't / is supported.</p>
