Encoding in Streamreader in my silverlight application

Question

Having trouble geting the encoding right in my silverlight application. I need support for western europe letters like æ,ø,å,â and so(Latin1??). But I can't get it right. What should be instead of SOMEENCODINGHERE? did try Encoding enc = Encoding.GetEncoding("Latin1"); but no names I used as param was recognized =( . If I use Encoding.Unicode tr.ReadLine() reads the whole file and convert it to Chinese for some reason.

    private Dictionary<int, string> InitDictionary()
    {
        var d = new Dictionary<int, string>();
        var sri = App.GetResourceStream(new Uri(fileDic, UriKind.Relative));
        using (TextReader tr = new StreamReader(sri.Stream, Encoding.SOMEENCODINGHERE))
        {
            int i = 0;
            string line;
            while ((line = tr.ReadLine()) != null)
            {
                d.Add(i++, line);
            }
        }
        return d;
    }

If you really want ISO-Latin-1, you can use

Encoding.GetEncoding(28591);

But the normal Windows Western Europe code page is 1252:

Encoding.GetEncoding(1252);

Are you absolutely sure that's the encoding for your stream though? These days it's more common to use UTF-8. What's generating your text resource?
