Parameters

chars

A char array of characters to encode.

index

A int that specifies the first index of chars to encode.

count

A int that specifies the number of elements in chars to encode.

flush

A bool value that determines whether the current instance flushes its internal state following a conversion. Specify true to flush the internal state of the current instance following a conversion; otherwise, specify false .

Returns

A int containing the number of bytes required to encode the range in chars from index to index + count -1 for a particular encoding.

Note: This value takes into account the state in which the current instance was left following the last call to Encoder.GetBytes(Char[], int, int, Byte[], int, bool) .

Exceptions

Type	Reason
ArgumentNullException	chars is null.
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	Return value is greater than int.MaxValue. -or- index < 0. -or- count < 0. -or- index and count do not specify a valid range in chars (i.e. (index + count) > chars.Length).

Remarks

The state of the current instance is not affected by a call to this method.

Operation

As described above.

Note to Inheritors

Override this method to retrieve the exact number of bytes required to encode a specified range of an array of char objects for a particular encoding.

Usage

Use this method to determine the exact number of bytes required to encode the specified range of an array of char objects for a particular encoding.
