Encoding.GetEncoding can’t work in UWP app

by

We need to use the CodePagesEncodingProvider to register extended encodings included in that specific provider. See CodePagesEncodingProvider Class

Encoding.RegisterProvider(CodePagesEncodingProvider.Instance);
Encoding.GetEncoding("windows-1254");

Ref https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encodingprovider(v=vs.110).aspx

The .NET Framework Class Library provides one static property,
P:System.Text.CodePagesEncodingProvider.Instance, that returns an
EncodingProvider object that makes the full set of encodings available
on the desktop .NET Framework Class Library available to .NET Core
applications.
