This is also useful when the amount of data is so large that it needs to be divided into smaller blocks. When the data to be converted is only available in sequential blocks (such as data read from a stream), an application can use a Decoder or an Encoder to perform the conversion.
#SYSTEM TEXT ENCODING CODE#
Use the Encoding.GetEncoding method with a code page or name parameter to obtain other encodings. This encoding supports all Unicode character values, and can also be accessed as code page 65001. The UTF8Encoding class encodes Unicode characters using the UTF-8 encoding (UTF-8 stands for UCS Transformation Format, 8-bit form).

This encoding supports all Unicode character values, and can also be accessed as code page 65000. The UTF7Encoding class encodes Unicode characters using the UTF-7 encoding (UTF-7 stands for UCS Transformation Format, 7-bit form). Both little-endian (code page 1200) and big-endian (code page 1201) byte orders are supported.

The UnicodeEncoding class encodes each Unicode character as two consecutive bytes. This encoding only supports character values between U+0000 and U+007F. The ASCIIEncoding class encodes Unicode characters as single 7-bit ASCII characters. Remarks Methods are provided to convert arrays and strings of Unicode characters to and from arrays of bytes encoded for a target code page.Ī number of Encoding implementations are provided in the System.Text namespace, including: This type is safe for multithreaded operations.
