A int that specifies the maximum number of characters produced by decoding byteCount bytes as a System.Text.UTF8Encoding .
Exceptions
Type Reason ArgumentOutOfRangeException byteCount < 0.
Remarks
Note:This method overrides Encoding.GetMaxCharCount(int) .
This method can be used to determine an appropriate minimum buffer size for character arrays passed to UTF8Encoding.GetChars(Byte[], int, int, Char[], int) . Using this minimum buffer size can help ensure that no buffer overflow exceptions will occur.
