Important

This API is not CLS-compliant.

Encodes a set of characters starting at the specified character pointer into a sequence of bytes that are stored starting at the specified byte pointer.

[<System.Security.SecurityCritical>]
[<System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(false)>]
override this.GetBytes : nativeptr<char> * int * nativeptr<byte> * int -> int

Parameters

chars
Char*

A pointer to the first character to encode.

charCount
Int32

The number of characters to encode.

bytes
Byte*

A pointer to the location at which to start writing the resulting sequence of bytes.

byteCount
Int32

The maximum number of bytes to write.

Returns

Int32

The actual number of bytes written at the location indicated by bytes.

Attributes
CLSCompliantAttribute SecurityCriticalAttribute ComVisibleAttribute

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

chars is null (Nothing).

-or-

bytes is null (Nothing).

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

charCount or byteCount is less than zero.

ArgumentException

byteCount is less than the resulting number of bytes.

EncoderFallbackException

A fallback occurred (see Character Encoding in .NET for fuller explanation).

-and-

EncoderFallback is set to EncoderExceptionFallback.

Remarks

To calculate the exact array size required by GetBytes to store the resulting bytes, the application uses GetByteCount. To calculate the maximum array size, the application should use GetMaxByteCount. The GetByteCount method generally allows allocation of less memory, while the GetMaxByteCount method generally executes faster.

Data to be converted, such as data read from a stream, might be available only in sequential blocks. In this case, or if the amount of data is so large that it needs to be divided into smaller blocks, the application should use the Decoder or the Encoder provided by the GetDecoder method or the GetEncoder method, respectively.

Note

UTF7Encoding does not provide error detection. Invalid characters are encoded as a modified base 64 character. For security reasons, your applications are recommended to use UTF8Encoding, UnicodeEncoding, or UTF32Encoding and enable error detection.

A fallback occurred (see Character Encoding in .NET for fuller explanation).

-and-

   UTF7Encoding^ utf7 = gcnew UTF7Encoding;
   int byteCount = utf7->GetByteCount( chars, 1, 2 );
   bytes = gcnew array<Byte>(byteCount);
   int bytesEncodedCount = utf7->GetBytes( chars, 1, 2, bytes, 0 );
   Console::WriteLine( "{0} bytes used to encode characters.", bytesEncodedCount );
   Console::Write( "Encoded bytes: " );
   IEnumerator^ myEnum = bytes->GetEnumerator();
   while ( myEnum->MoveNext() )
   {
      Byte b = safe_cast<Byte>(myEnum->Current);
