The System.Text namespace provides encoding
and decoding capabilities for arrays of bytes and characters. These
classes allow you to convert characters easily from different subsets
of Unicode encodings, such as ASCII, UTF-8, and UTF-16. Additionally, a

intermediate string objects. Figure 40-1 shows the
types in this namespace.
