Encoding.GetEncoding Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Returns the encoding associated with the specified name.

Namespace: System.Text
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function GetEncoding ( _
    name As String _
) As Encoding

public static Encoding GetEncoding(
    string name
)

Parameters

name
Type: System.String
The name of the preferred encoding.

Return Value

Type: System.Text.Encoding
The object associated with the specified name.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	name is not the name of a valid encoding.

Remarks

The following table lists valid values for the name parameter. Except for "utf-16LE", they correspond to the strings returned by each encoding's WebName property.

Name	Encoding
utf-8	UTF8Encoding
utf-16	UnicodeEncoding (little-endian)
utf-16BE	UnicodeEncoding (big-endian)
utf-16LE	UnicodeEncoding (little-endian)

The name parameter is not case-sensitive. For example, the method returns a UnicodeEncoding object if name is either "utf-16" or 'UTF-16".

GetEncoding returns a cached instance with default settings. To get an instance with different settings, call the appropriate constructors of derived classes. For example, the UnicodeEncoding class provides a constructor that allows enabling of error detection.

Platform Notes

Silverlight for Windows Phone

If you pass an invalid code page name to GetEncoding, the method throws PlatformNotSupportedException instead of ArgumentException.

Examples

The following example instantiates several encoding objects, including two that are returned by the GetEncoding method. It then checks them for equality.

Imports System.Text

Public Class Example

   Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      ' Get a UTF-16 encoding.
      Dim e16_1 As Encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-16")

      ' Instantiate a second UTF-16 encoding.
      Dim e16_2 As Encoding = New UnicodeEncoding()

      ' Instantiate a Unicode little endian encoding.
      Dim le As Encoding = New UnicodeEncoding(False, True)

      ' Instantiate a Unicode big endian encoding.
      Dim be As Encoding = New UnicodeEncoding(True, True)

      ' Get a UTF-8 encoding by name.
      Dim e8 As Encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8")
