UTF8Encoding Constructor
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Initializes a new instance of the UTF8Encoding class.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
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.
Note: |
|---|
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. |
The following example demonstrates how to create a new UTF8Encoding instance and display the name of the encoding.
Imports System.Text Class Example Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock) Dim utf8 As New UTF8Encoding() Dim encodingName As String = utf8.WebName outputBlock.Text &= "Encoding name: " & encodingName & vbCrLf End Sub End Class ' The example displays the following output: ' Encoding name: utf-8
