String replace diacritics in C#

Jon Skeet mentioned the following code on a newsgroup...

static string RemoveAccents (string input)
{
    string normalized = input.Normalize(NormalizationForm.FormKD);
    Encoding removal = Encoding.GetEncoding(Encoding.ASCII.CodePage,
                                            new EncoderReplacementFallback(""),
                                            new DecoderReplacementFallback(""));
    byte[] bytes = removal.GetBytes(normalized);
    return Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytes);
}

EDIT

Maybe I am crazy, but I just ran the following...

Dim Input As String = "ŠĐĆŽ-šđčćž"
Dim Builder As New StringBuilder()

For Each Chr As Char In Input
    Builder.Append(Chr)
Next

Console.Write(Builder.ToString())

And the output was SDCZ-sdccz

It seems you want to strip off diacritics and leave the base character. I'd recommend Ben Lings's solution here for this:

string input = "ŠĐĆŽ šđčćž";
string decomposed = input.Normalize(NormalizationForm.FormD);
char[] filtered = decomposed
    .Where(c => char.GetUnicodeCategory(c) != UnicodeCategory.NonSpacingMark)
    .ToArray();
string newString = new String(filtered);

Edit: Slight problem! It doesn't work for the Đ. The result is:

SĐCZ sđccz
