Calculates the number of bytes produced by encoding a set of characters.

Overloads

GetByteCount(String)

Calculates the number of bytes produced by encoding the characters in the specified string.
GetByteCount(Char*, Int32)

Calculates the number of bytes produced by encoding a set of characters starting at the specified character pointer.

GetByteCount(String)

Source:
UnicodeEncoding.cs
Source:
UnicodeEncoding.cs
Source:
UnicodeEncoding.cs

Calculates the number of bytes produced by encoding the characters in the specified string.

public:
 override int GetByteCount(System::String ^ s);
public override int GetByteCount (string s);
override this.GetByteCount : string -> int
Public Overrides Function GetByteCount (s As String) As Integer

Parameters

s
String

The string that contains the set of characters to encode.

Returns

Int32

The number of bytes produced by encoding the specified characters.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

s is null.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

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

ArgumentException

Error detection is enabled, and s contains an invalid sequence of characters.

EncoderFallbackException

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

-and-

EncoderFallback is set to EncoderExceptionFallback.

Examples

The following example calls the GetMaxByteCount and GetByteCount(String) methods to calculate the maximum and actual number of bytes required to encode a string. It also displays the actual number of bytes required to store a byte stream with a byte order mark.

using System;
using System.Text;

class UTF8EncodingExample {
    public static void Main() {
        String chars = "UTF-16 Encoding Example";
        Encoding unicode = Encoding.Unicode;

        Console.WriteLine("Bytes needed to encode '{0}':", chars);
        Console.WriteLine("   Maximum:         {0}",
                          unicode.GetMaxByteCount(chars.Length));
        Console.WriteLine("   Actual:          {0}",
                          unicode.GetByteCount(chars));
        Console.WriteLine("   Actual with BOM: {0}",
                          unicode.GetByteCount(chars) + unicode.GetPreamble().Length);
    }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       Bytes needed to encode 'UTF-16 Encoding Example':
//          Maximum:         48
//          Actual:          46
//          Actual with BOM: 48

Imports System.Text

Module Example
    Public Sub Main()
        Dim chars As String = "UTF-16 Encoding Example"
        Dim unicode As Encoding = Encoding.Unicode

        Console.WriteLine("Bytes needed to encode '{0}':", chars)
        Console.WriteLine("   Maximum:         {0}",
                          unicode.GetMaxByteCount(chars.Length))
        Console.WriteLine("   Actual:          {0}",
                          unicode.GetByteCount(chars))
        Console.WriteLine("   Actual with BOM: {0}",
                          unicode.GetByteCount(chars) + unicode.GetPreamble().Length)
    End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'       Bytes needed to encode 'UTF-16 Encoding Example':
'          Maximum:         48
'          Actual:          46
'          Actual with BOM: 48

Remarks

To calculate the exact array size required by GetBytes to store the resulting bytes, you call the GetByteCount method. To calculate the maximum array size, you call the GetMaxByteCount method. The GetByteCount method generally allocates less memory, while the GetMaxByteCount method generally executes faster.

With error detection, an invalid sequence causes this method to throw a ArgumentException. Without error detection, invalid sequences are ignored, and no exception is thrown.

Important

To ensure that the encoded bytes are decoded properly when they are saved as a file or as a stream, you can prefix a stream of encoded bytes with a preamble. Inserting the preamble at the beginning of a byte stream (such as at the beginning of a series of bytes to be written to a file) is the developer's responsibility, and the number of bytes in the preamble is not reflected in the value returned by the GetByteCount(String) method.

Examples

The following example populates an array with a Latin uppercase and lowercase characters and calls the GetByteCount(Char[], Int32, Int32) method to determine the number of bytes needed to encode the Latin lowercase characters. It then displays this information along with the total number of bytes needed if a byte order mark is added. It compares this number with the value returned by the GetMaxByteCount method, which indicates maximum number of bytes needed to encode the Latin lowercase characters. The following example populates an array with a combination of Greek and Cyrillic characters and calls the GetByteCount(Char[], Int32, Int32) method to determine the number of bytes needed to encode the Cyrillic characters. It then displays this information along with the total number of bytes needed if a byte order mark is added. It compares this number with the value returned by the GetMaxByteCount method, which indicates maximum number of bytes needed to encode the Cyrillic characters.
