Encoder.GetBytes Method (array<Char[], Int32, Int32, array<Byte[], Int32, Boolean)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

When overridden in a derived class, encodes a set of characters from the specified character array and any characters in the internal buffer into the specified byte array. A parameter indicates whether to clear the internal state of the encoder after the conversion.

Namespace: System.Text
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public MustOverride Function GetBytes ( _
    chars As Char(), _
    charIndex As Integer, _
    charCount As Integer, _
    bytes As Byte(), _
    byteIndex As Integer, _
    flush As Boolean _
) As Integer

public abstract int GetBytes(
    char[] chars,
    int charIndex,
    int charCount,
    byte[] bytes,
    int byteIndex,
    bool flush
)

Parameters

chars
Type: array<System.Char[]
The character array containing the set of characters to encode.

charIndex
Type: System.Int32
The zero-based index of the first character to encode.

charCount
Type: System.Int32
The number of characters to encode.

bytes
Type: array<System.Byte[]
The byte array to contain the resulting sequence of bytes.

byteIndex
Type: System.Int32
The zero-based index at which to start writing the resulting sequence of bytes.

flush
Type: System.Boolean
true to clear the internal state of the encoder after the conversion; otherwise, false.

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
The actual number of bytes written into bytes.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	chars is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). -or- bytes is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	charIndex or charCount or byteIndex is less than zero. -or- charIndex and charCount do not denote a valid range in chars. -or- byteIndex is not a valid index in bytes.
ArgumentException	bytes does not have enough capacity from byteIndex to the end of the array to accommodate the resulting bytes.
EncoderFallbackException	A fallback occurred (see Understanding Encodings for fuller explanation).

Remarks

The Encoder object saves state between calls to GetBytes. When the application is done with a stream of data, it should set the flush parameter to true in the last call to GetBytes to make sure that the state information is flushed and that the encoded bytes are properly terminated. With this setting, the encoder ignores invalid bytes at the end of the data block, such as unmatched surrogates or incomplete combining sequences, and clears the internal buffer.

To calculate the exact buffer size that GetBytes requires to store the resulting characters, call the GetByteCount method.

If GetBytes is called with flush set to false, the encoder stores trailing bytes at the end of the data block in an internal buffer and uses them in the next encoding operation. The application should call GetByteCount on a block of data immediately before calling GetBytes on the same block, so that any trailing characters from the previous block are included in the calculation.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to encode a range of elements from a character array and store the encoded bytes in a range of elements in a byte array. The GetByteCount method is used to determine the size of the array required by GetBytes.

Class Example

   Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      Dim bytes() As Byte
      ' Unicode characters.
      ' ChrW(35)  = #
      ' ChrW(37)  = %
      ' ChrW(928) = Pi
      ' ChrW(931) = Sigma
      Dim chars() As Char = {ChrW(35), ChrW(37), ChrW(928), ChrW(931)}

      Dim uniEncoder As Encoder = Encoding.Unicode.GetEncoder()

      Dim byteCount As Integer = _
          uniEncoder.GetByteCount(chars, 0, chars.Length, True)
      bytes = New Byte(byteCount - 1) {}
      Dim bytesEncodedCount As Integer = _
          uniEncoder.GetBytes(chars, 0, chars.Length, bytes, 0, True)

      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format( _
          "{0} bytes used to encode characters.", _
          bytesEncodedCount _
      ) & vbCrLf

      outputBlock.Text &= "Encoded bytes: "
      Dim b As Byte
      For Each b In bytes
         outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("[{0}]", b)
      Next b
      outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
   End Sub 'Main
End Class 'EncoderExample
