.NET Framework Class Library
UTF8Encoding Constructor

Initializes a new instance of the UTF8Encoding class.

Namespace:  System.Text
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Sub New
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As New UTF8Encoding()
C#
public UTF8Encoding()
Visual C++
public:
UTF8Encoding()
JScript
public function UTF8Encoding()
Remarks

This constructor creates an instance that does not provide a Unicode byte order mark and does not throw an exception when an invalid encoding is detected.

NoteNote:

For security reasons, your applications are recommended to enable error detection by using the constructor that accepts a throwOnInvalidBytes parameter and setting that parameter to true.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to create a new UTF8Encoding instance and display the name of the encoding.

Visual Basic
Imports System
Imports System.Text

Class UTF8EncodingExample

    Public Shared Sub Main()
        Dim utf8 As New UTF8Encoding()
        Dim encodingName As String = utf8.EncodingName
        Console.WriteLine("Encoding name: " & encodingName)
    End Sub 'Main
End Class 'UTF8EncodingExample
C#
using System;
using System.Text;

class UTF8EncodingExample {
    public static void Main() {
        UTF8Encoding utf8 = new UTF8Encoding();
        String encodingName = utf8.EncodingName;
        Console.WriteLine("Encoding name: " + encodingName);
    }
}
Visual C++
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Text;
int main()
{
   UTF8Encoding^ utf8 = gcnew UTF8Encoding;
   String^ encodingName = utf8->EncodingName;
   Console::WriteLine( "Encoding name: {0}", encodingName );
}
