Parameters

bytes

A pointer to the first byte to decode.

count

The number of bytes to decode.

Return Value

To calculate the exact array size required by GetChars to store the resulting characters, use GetCharCount. To calculate the maximum array size, use GetMaxCharCount. The GetCharCount method generally allows you to allocate less memory, whereas the GetMaxCharCount method generally executes faster.

With error detection, an invalid sequence causes this method to throw an ArgumentException. Without error detection, invalid sequences are ignored, and no exception is thrown.
