ASCIIEncoding.GetBytes Method

Definition

Encodes a set of characters into a sequence of bytes.

Overloads

GetBytes(ReadOnlySpan<Char>, Span<Byte>)

Encodes the specified character span into the specified byte span.

GetBytes(Char*, Int32, Byte*, Int32)

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.

GetBytes(Char[], Int32, Int32, Byte[], Int32)

Encodes a set of characters from the specified character array into the specified byte array.

GetBytes(String, Int32, Int32, Byte[], Int32)

Encodes a set of characters from the specified String into the specified byte array.

GetBytes(ReadOnlySpan<Char>, Span<Byte>)

Source:
ASCIIEncoding.cs
Source:
ASCIIEncoding.cs
Source:
ASCIIEncoding.cs

Encodes the specified character span into the specified byte span.

public:
 override int GetBytes(ReadOnlySpan<char> chars, Span<System::Byte> bytes);
public override int GetBytes (ReadOnlySpan<char> chars, Span<byte> bytes);
override this.GetBytes : ReadOnlySpan<char> * Span<byte> -> int
Public Overrides Function GetBytes (chars As ReadOnlySpan(Of Char), bytes As Span(Of Byte)) As Integer

Parameters

chars
ReadOnlySpan<Char>

The character span to encode.

bytes
Span<Byte>

The span to contain the resulting set of bytes.

Returns

The actual number of bytes written into bytes.

Remarks

To calculate the exact size required by GetBytes to store the resulting bytes, use GetByteCount. To calculate the maximum size, 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, can 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, use the Decoder or the Encoder provided by the GetDecoder method or the GetEncoder method, respectively.

ASCIIEncoding does not provide error detection. Any Unicode character greater than U+007F is encoded as the ASCII question mark ("?").

Caution

For security reasons, you should use UTF8Encoding, UnicodeEncoding, or UTF32Encoding and enable error detection.

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

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

Attributes

Exceptions

chars is null.

-or-

bytes is null.

charCount or byteCount is less than zero.

byteCount is less than the resulting number of bytes.

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

-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, can 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.

ASCIIEncoding does not provide error detection. Any Unicode character greater than U+007F is translated to an ASCII question mark ("?").

Caution

For security reasons, your application is recommended to use UTF8Encoding, UnicodeEncoding, or UTF32Encoding and enable error detection.

   int bytesEncodedCount = ascii->GetBytes( chars, 6, 8, bytes, 0 );
   Console::WriteLine( " {0} bytes used to encode string.", bytesEncodedCount );
