        ' Convert a windows-1252 text file to utf-8.
        Dim cc As New Chilkat.Charset()

        cc.UnlockComponent("anything for 30-day trial")

        Dim byteData As Byte()
        byteData = cc.ReadFile("windows-1252.txt")

        cc.FromCharset = "windows-1252"
        cc.ToCharset = "utf-8"

        Dim utf8Bytes As Byte()
        utf8Bytes = cc.ConvertData(byteData)

        ' Write the utf-8 bytes to a text file.
        cc.WriteFile("utf8.txt", utf8Bytes)

        ' Display the utf8 string.
        Dim s As String
        s = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(utf8Bytes)
        MsgBox(s)

        ' Save any string to a file in various encodings:
        cc.WriteStringToFile(s, "iso-8859-1.txt", "iso-8859-1")
        cc.WriteStringToFile(s, "utf8_again.txt", "utf-8")
        cc.WriteStringToFile(s, "windows1252_again.txt", "windows-1252")
