Encoding
This class converts strings of Unicode
characters to and from byte arrays.
Derived classes implement specific encoding types. The
GetBytes( ) method takes an array of characters
and returns the corresponding array of bytes. The GetChars( ) method does the opposite conversion.
GetByteCount( ) and GetCharCount( ) allow you to get the exact size of the encoding or
decoding to size the output buffer appropriately.
The GetEncoder( ) and GetDecoder( ) methods create Encoder and
Decoder instances that allow you to do encoding
across sequential blocks in which partial byte codes may remain in
the buffer.
