Try using System.Text.Encoding.UTF8
Check if reference exists to System.Text

Add the following namespace:

using System.Text;

You can also put this into your .aspx.cs file.

C#

using System.Text;

I don't know why none of the project templates include this (and System.IO) by default yet. I need both in practically every project I create.
