Description
This page has several issues:
- It claims
CodePagesEncodingProvideris not available for .Net Core 2.1, which is not true. (In fact, it's a NuGet package, so AFAIK it's not part of any .Net TFM, but works in any .Net Standard 1.3+ TFM, if installed. But I think that's a larger issue that's out of scope here.) - It claims it's only relevant for .Net Native. That's not true,
CodePagesEncodingProvideris also required for some code pages on regular .Net Core. - It says that you should reference the System.Text.Encoding.CodePages.dll assembly. That might work on UWP (not sure), but a more general approach is to reference the System.Text.Encoding.CodePages package from NuGet.
This issue was inspired by https://github.com/dotnet/docs/issues/6931.
