UnicodeEncoding Constructor
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Initializes a new instance of the UnicodeEncoding class.
Namespace: System.Text
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Sub New
public UnicodeEncoding()
Remarks
This constructor creates an instance that uses the little-endian byte order, provides a Unicode byte order mark, and does not throw an exception when an invalid encoding is detected.
Note: |
---|
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 creates a new UnicodeEncoding instance and displays the name of the encoding.
Imports System.Text
Class Example
Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
Dim uni As New UnicodeEncoding()
Dim encodingName As String = uni.WebName
outputBlock.Text &= "Encoding name: " & encodingName & vbCrLf
End Sub 'Main
End Class 'UnicodeEncodingExample
' The example displays the following output:
' Encoding name: utf-16
using System;
using System.Text;
class Example
{
public static void Demo(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock)
{
UnicodeEncoding unicode = new UnicodeEncoding();
String encodingName = unicode.WebName;
outputBlock.Text += "Encoding name: " + encodingName + "\n";
}
}
// The example displays the following output:
// Encoding name: utf-16
