Encoding.GetEncoder Method
An Encoder for this encoding.
[Visual Basic] Public Overridable Function GetEncoder() As Encoder [C#] public virtual Encoder GetEncoder(); [C++] public: virtual Encoder* GetEncoder(); [JScript] public function GetEncoder() : Encoder;
Return Value
An Encoder for this encoding. The Encoder can be used to encode a sequence of characters into bytes.
Remarks
Contrary to GetBytes, an Encoder can convert partial sequences of characters into partial sequences of bytes by maintaining the appropriate state between the conversions.
This default implementation returns an Encoder that forwards calls to GetByteCount and GetBytes to the corresponding methods of this encoding. Encodings that require state to be maintained between successive conversions can override this method and return an instance of an appropriate Encoder implementation.
