| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | bytes is nullptr. |
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | index or count is less than zero. -or- index and count do not denote a valid range in bytes. |
| DecoderFallbackException | A fallback occurred (see Understanding Encodings for complete explanation). |
If the data to be converted is available only in sequential blocks (such as data read from a stream) or if the amount of data is so large that it needs to be divided into smaller blocks, the application should use the Decoder or the Encoder provided by the GetDecoder method or the GetEncoder method, respectively, of a derived class.
