ASP.NET in a Nutshell

Name

ContentEncoding

Synopsis

ce = Request.ContentEncoding

Returns an instance of the Encoding class (located in the System.Text namespace), which represents the character encoding of the body of the current request.

Parameters

ce

An Object variable of type Encoding.

Example

The example demonstrates how to display the current ContentEncoding to the user:

Sub Page_Load(  )
   Dim ce As System.Text.Encoding
   ce = Request.ContentEncoding
   Message.Text = "Current encoding is: " & ce.EncodingName & "."
End Sub

For a request using UTF-8 content encoding, the output of this example would be:

Current encoding is: Unicode (UTF-8).
