Name
Encoder
Synopsis
Encoding.GetEncoder()
returns an
instance of this type, which converts
character arrays to byte arrays using the encoding subclass from which
it was constructed.
This class exposes the GetBytes()
method, which converts a sequence of character blocks into a sequence
of byte blocks. Since Encoder
maintains state between calls to
GetBytes()
, it can deal with
partial sequences that occur at block boundaries.
The last argument to
GetBytes()
is a boolean that
specifies whether the internal buffer is flushed after the method is
called. If true
, state information on the object
is lost between blocks. If false
(the default), the
buffer is maintained. A call with flushing set to true
is needed on the final call to Encoding.GetBytes()
to close the byte array properly.
