Examples

This code example is part of a larger example provided for the StringWriter() constructor.

Console::WriteLine( "The following string is {0} encoded.\n{1}", strWriter->Encoding->EncodingName, strWriter->ToString() );

Console.WriteLine("The following string is {0} encoded.\n{1}",
    strWriter.Encoding.EncodingName, strWriter.ToString());

Console.WriteLine("The following string is {0} encoded." _
    & vbCrLf & "{1}", _
    strWriter.Encoding.EncodingName, strWriter.ToString())

Remarks

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