Parameters

bytes

The byte array to decode as a System.Text.UTF8Encoding .

index

A int that specifies the first index of bytes to decode.

count

A int that specifies the number of bytes to decode.

Returns

A int that indicates the number of characters produced by decoding the range in bytes from index to index + count - 1 as a System.Text.UTF8Encoding .

Exceptions

Type	Reason
ArgumentNullException	bytes is null.
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	index or count is less than zero. -or- index and count do not specify a valid range in bytes (i.e. (index + count) > bytes.Length).
ArgumentException	Error-checking is turned on for the current instance and bytes contains an invalid surrogate sequence.

Remarks

If error-checking is turned off and an invalid surrogate sequence is detected, the invalid bytes are ignored and do not affect the return value, and no exception is thrown.

Note: This method overrides Encoding.GetCharCount(Byte[]).
