C# Encoding GetCharCount(Byte[])

Description

Encoding GetCharCount(Byte[]) When overridden in a derived class, calculates the number of characters produced by decoding all the bytes in the specified byte array.

Syntax

Encoding.GetCharCount(Byte[]) has the following syntax.

public virtual int GetCharCount(
  byte[] bytes
)

Parameters

Encoding.GetCharCount(Byte[]) has the following parameters.

• bytes - The byte array containing the sequence of bytes to decode.

Returns

Encoding.GetCharCount(Byte[]) method returns The number of characters produced by decoding the specified sequence of bytes.

Example

using System;//from   www .j  a v  a 2  s.  c o  m
using System.Text;

public class SamplesEncoding
{

    public static void Main()
    {
        Encoding enc = Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-32");

        String myStr = "za\u0306\u01FD\u03B2";

        byte[] bytes = new byte[enc.GetByteCount(myStr)];
        enc.GetBytes(myStr, 0, myStr.Length, bytes, 0);

        Console.Write(enc.ToString());
        int iCC = enc.GetCharCount(bytes);
        Console.Write(iCC);
    }
}

The code above generates the following result.
