TextWriter.Encoding Property

Silverlight

Other Versions

When overridden in a derived class, returns the Encoding in which the output is written.

Namespace: System.IO
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

public abstract Encoding Encoding { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.Text.Encoding
The Encoding in which the output is written.

Remarks

This property is necessary for some XML scenarios where a header must be written containing the encoding used by the TextWriter. This allows the XML code to consume an arbitrary TextWriter and generate the correct XML header.
