My Pocket PC application reads a german charater text file with several
lines, that was written with my XP desktop. As a result, all special
german characters like 'ä', 'Ä' etc. were missing. I work with C# and
Compact Framework. How can I read characters correct?

You need to know what encoding the file was written with.

See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/unicode.html for more
