Gets the encoding of the document.

Namespace: System.Xml
Assembly: System.Xml (in system.xml.dll)

VB
Copy 
public Encoding Encoding { get; }
J#
Copy 
/** @property */
public Encoding get_Encoding ()
JScript
Copy 
public function get Encoding () : Encoding

Property Value

The encoding value. If no encoding attribute exists, and there is no byte-order mark, this defaults to UTF-8.
NoteNote

In the Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 release, the recommended practice is to create XmlReader instances using the System.Xml.XmlReader.Create method. This allows you to take full advantage of the new features introduced in this release. For more information, see Creating XML Readers.

Because XmlTextReader uses the System.Text.Encoding class, XmlTextReader also supports all encodings supported by that class. The exception to this is any encoding, such as UTF-7 or EBCDIC, that maps the <?xml sequence to different byte values than UTF-8.
