Examples

The following example checks the values of the Boolean properties of each encoding.

using System;
using System.Text;

public class SamplesEncoding  {

   public static void Main()  {

      // Print the header.
      Console.Write( "CodePage identifier and name     " );
      Console.Write( "BrDisp   BrSave   " );
      Console.Write( "MNDisp   MNSave   " );
      Console.WriteLine( "1-Byte   ReadOnly " );

      // For every encoding, get the property values.
      foreach( EncodingInfo ei in Encoding.GetEncodings() )  {
         Encoding e = ei.GetEncoding();

         Console.Write( "{0,-6} {1,-25} ", ei.CodePage, ei.Name );
         Console.Write( "{0,-8} {1,-8} ", e.IsBrowserDisplay, e.IsBrowserSave );
         Console.Write( "{0,-8} {1,-8} ", e.IsMailNewsDisplay, e.IsMailNewsSave );
         Console.WriteLine( "{0,-8} {1,-8} ", e.IsSingleByte, e.IsReadOnly );
      }
   }
}
