C# Encoding GetByteCount(Char[])
Description
Encoding GetByteCount(Char[]) When overridden in a
derived class, calculates the number of bytes produced by encoding all the
characters in the specified character array.
Syntax
Encoding.GetByteCount(Char[]) has the following syntax.
public virtual int GetByteCount(
char[] chars
)
Parameters
Encoding.GetByteCount(Char[]) has the following parameters.
chars- The character array containing the characters to encode.
Returns
Encoding.GetByteCount(Char[]) method returns The number of bytes produced by encoding all the characters in the specified

Example
//from www . j av a 2s .c o m
using System;
using System.Text;
public class SamplesEncoding
{
public static void Main()
{
char[] chars = new char[] { 'z', 'a', '\u0306', '\u01FD', '\u03B2', '\uD8FF', '\uDCFF' };
Encoding enc = Encoding.UTF8;
int iBC = enc.GetByteCount(chars);
Console.Write(" {0,-3}", iBC);
int iMBC = enc.GetMaxByteCount(chars.Length);
Console.Write(" {0,-3} :", iMBC);
byte[] bytes = enc.GetBytes(chars);
for (int i = 0; i < bytes.Length; i++)
Console.Write("{0:X2} ", bytes[i]);
}
}
The code above generates the following result.
