Parameters

charCount

A int whose value represents a number of characters to encode as Unicode-encoded characters. [Edit]

Returns

A int containing the maximum number of bytes required to encode charCount characters as Unicode-encoded characters. [Edit]

Exceptions

Type	Reason
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	charCount < 0. [Edit]

Remarks

Note:

This method overrides Encoding.GetMaxByteCount(int).

Use this method to determine an appropriate minimum buffer size for byte arrays passed to UnicodeEncoding.GetBytes(Char[], int, int, Byte[], int) or Encoder.GetBytes(Char[], int, int, Byte[], int, bool) for the current instance. Using this minimum buffer size can help ensure that buffer overflow exceptions do not occur.
