Caution

The UTF-7 encoding is insecure and should not be used. Consider using UTF-8 instead.

Initializes a new instance of the UTF7Encoding class.

public:
 UTF7Encoding();

public UTF7Encoding ();

[System.Obsolete("The UTF-7 encoding is insecure and should not be used. Consider using UTF-8 instead.", DiagnosticId="SYSLIB0001", UrlFormat="https://aka.ms/dotnet-warnings/{0}")]
public UTF7Encoding ();

Public Sub New ()

Attributes: ObsoleteAttribute

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to create a new UTF7Encoding instance and display the name of the encoding.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Text;
int main()
{
   UTF7Encoding^ utf7 = gcnew UTF7Encoding;
   String^ encodingName = utf7->EncodingName;
   Console::WriteLine( "Encoding name: {0}", encodingName );
}

using System;
using System.Text;

class UTF7EncodingExample {
    public static void Main() {
        UTF7Encoding utf7 = new UTF7Encoding();
        String encodingName = utf7.EncodingName;
        Console.WriteLine("Encoding name: " + encodingName);
    }
}

Imports System.Text

Class UTF7EncodingExample
    
    Public Shared Sub Main()
        Dim utf7 As New UTF7Encoding()
        Dim encodingName As String = utf7.EncodingName
        Console.WriteLine("Encoding name: " & encodingName)
    End Sub
End Class

Remarks

This constructor creates an instance that does not allow optional characters. Calling the UTF7Encoding constructor is equivalent to calling the UTF7Encoding.UTF7Encoding(Boolean) constructor that takes an allowOptionals parameter and specifying false for that parameter.

If an instance allows optional characters, Unicode code points are encoded with a corresponding optional character instead of a modified base 64 character. The optional characters are exclamation point ("!"), backward slash ("\"), vertical line ("|"), double quote ("""), number sign ("#"), dollar sign ("$"), percent sign ("%"), ampersand ("&"), asterisk ("*"), semicolon (";"), left angle bracket ("<"), right angle bracket (">"), left curly bracket ("{"), right curly bracket ("}"), left square bracket ("["), right square bracket ("]"), equal sign ("="), at sign ("@"), circumflex accent ("^"), underscore ("_"), and grave accent ("`").

Note

UTF7Encoding does not provide error detection. For security reasons, your applications are recommended to use UTF8Encoding, UnicodeEncoding, or UTF32Encoding and enable error detection.

allowOptionals: Boolean

true to specify that optional characters are allowed; otherwise, false.
