Decoder.GetCharCount Method (array<Byte[], Int32, Int32, Boolean)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

When overridden in a derived class, calculates the number of characters produced by decoding a sequence of bytes from the specified byte array. A parameter indicates whether to clear the internal state of the decoder after the calculation.

Namespace:  System.Text
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<ComVisibleAttribute(False)> _
Public Overridable Function GetCharCount ( _
    bytes As Byte(), _
    index As Integer, _
    count As Integer, _
    flush As Boolean _
) As Integer
[ComVisibleAttribute(false)]
public virtual int GetCharCount(
    byte[] bytes,
    int index,
    int count,
    bool flush
)

Parameters

  • bytes
    Type: array<System.Byte[]
    The byte array containing the sequence of bytes to decode.
  • index
    Type: System.Int32
    The zero-based index of the first byte to decode.
  • flush
    Type: System.Boolean
    true to simulate clearing the internal state of the encoder after the calculation; otherwise, false.

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
The number of characters produced by decoding the specified sequence of bytes and any bytes in the internal buffer.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

bytes is null (Nothing).

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

index or count is less than zero.

-or-

index and count do not denote a valid range in bytes.

DecoderFallbackException

A fallback occurred (see Understanding Encodings for fuller explanation).

Remarks

This method does not affect the state of the decoder.

The GetCharCount(array<Byte[], Int32, Int32, Boolean) method calculates the exact array size that the GetChars method requires to store the decoded characters.

If GetChars is called with flush set to false, the decoder stores trailing bytes at the end of the data block in an internal buffer and uses them in the next decoding operation. The application should call GetCharCount on a block of data immediately before calling GetChars on the same block, so that any trailing bytes from the previous block are included in the calculation.
