Returns

A System.Text.Encoder for the current encoding. [Edit]

Remarks

Operation

As described above.

The default implementation returns a System.Text.Encoder that forwards calls made to the Encoding.GetByteCount(Char[]) and Encoding.GetBytes(Char[]) methods to the corresponding methods of the current instance.

Note to Inheritors

Types derived from System.Text.Encoding override this method to return an instance of an appropriate System.Text.Encoder .

Usage

Unlike the Encoding.GetBytes(Char[]) method, a System.Text.Encoder can convert partial sequences of characters into partial sequences of bytes by maintaining the appropriate state between the conversions.
