MS "VCard" French special characters

I am trying to create a vcard on the fly for the site. I just open the “real” VCard after creating it using Outlook using Notepad ++ and see what I need to create it on the fly. Everything works fine, and I can add everything I need, where I need. Instead of a single point:

  • All French characters, such as É, À, Ê, Ç, etc., are shown like this: Simon Dugr à © .

I added everything that Outlook suggested, created by those who offer to add: "CHARSET = Windows-1252:" before my string entry (I also tried using ISO-8859-1, UTF8, UTF7, UTF-8, UTF-7), I added and none of them work.

Any suggestion?

EDIT (after Alexander S.'s answer)
Here is the source of VCard. Note that the source shows this correctly, but when I open it in Outlook, I still have an accent problem:

START: VCARD Version: 2.1
N; LANGUAGE = FR-cha; CHARSET = UTF-8: Dugré; Simon
ORG; Charset = UTF-8: CompanyNameéàêâç

EMAIL; PREF; INTERNET: hello@world.com X-MS-OL-DESIGN; CHARSET = utf-8: [HTML VCard format] REV: 20110404T135700 END: VCARD

Here is a good line :

currentPage.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", string.Format("attachment; filename={0} {1}.vcf", this.FirstName, this.LastName));
currentPage.Response.ContentType = "text/x-vcard";
currentPage.Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-1"); // THIS LINE
currentPage.Response.Write(content);
currentPage.Response.End();

Instead:

currentPage.Response.Charset = "ISO-8859-1";
