TextWriter.Encoding Property
.NET Framework (current version)
When overridden in a derived class, returns the character encoding in which the output is written.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
This property is necessary for some XML scenarios where a header must be written containing the encoding used by the TextWriter. This enables the XML code to consume an arbitrary TextWriter and generate the correct XML header.
