UTF7Encoding.GetMaxCharCount(Int32) Method

Definition

Calculates the maximum number of characters produced by decoding the specified number of bytes.

C#
public override int GetMaxCharCount(int byteCount);

Parameters

byteCount
Int32

The number of bytes to decode.

Returns

The maximum number of characters produced by decoding the specified number of bytes.

Exceptions

byteCount is less than zero.

-or-

The resulting number of characters is greater than the maximum number that can be returned as an int.

A fallback occurred (for more information, see Character Encoding in .NET)

-and-

DecoderFallback is set to DecoderExceptionFallback.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the GetMaxCharCount method to return the maximum number of characters produced by decoding a specified number of bytes.

C#
using System;
using System.Text;

class UTF7EncodingExample {
    public static void Main() {
        UTF7Encoding utf7 = new UTF7Encoding();
        int byteCount = 8;
        int maxCharCount = utf7.GetMaxCharCount(byteCount);
        Console.WriteLine(
            "Maximum of {0} characters needed to decode {1} bytes.",
            maxCharCount,
            byteCount
        );
    }
}

Remarks

To calculate the exact array size required by GetChars to store the resulting characters, the application uses GetCharCount. To calculate the maximum array size, the application should use GetMaxCharCount. The GetCharCount method generally allows allocation of less memory, while the GetMaxCharCount method generally executes faster.

GetMaxCharCount is a worst-case number, including the worst case for the currently selected DecoderFallback. If a fallback is chosen with a potentially large string, GetMaxCharCount can return large values.

In most cases, this method returns reasonable numbers for small strings. For large strings, you might have to choose between using very large buffers and catching errors in the rare case that a more reasonable buffer is exceeded. You might also want to consider a different approach using GetCharCount or Decoder.Convert.

GetMaxCharCount has no relation to GetBytes. If your application needs a similar function to use with GetBytes, it should use GetMaxByteCount.

Notiz

GetMaxCharCount(N) is not necessarily the same value as N* GetMaxCharCount(1).
