UTF8Encoding Constructor

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

Initializes a new instance of the UTF8Encoding class.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New
public UTF8Encoding()

Remarks

This constructor creates an instance that does not provide a Unicode byte order mark and does not throw an exception when an invalid encoding is detected.

NoteNote:

For security reasons, your applications are recommended to enable error detection by using the constructor that accepts a throwOnInvalidBytes parameter and setting that parameter to true.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to create a new UTF8Encoding instance and display the name of the encoding.

Imports System.Text

Class Example

   Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      Dim utf8 As New UTF8Encoding()
      Dim encodingName As String = utf8.WebName
      outputBlock.Text &= "Encoding name: " & encodingName & vbCrLf
   End Sub 
End Class 
' The example displays the following output:
'       Encoding name: utf-8
using System;
using System.Text;

class Example
{
   public static void Demo(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock)
   {
      UTF8Encoding utf8 = new UTF8Encoding();
      String encodingName = utf8.WebName;
      outputBlock.Text += "Encoding name: " + encodingName + "\n";
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       Encoding name: utf-8
