Returns the maximum number of bytes required to encode a given number of characters.
[Visual Basic] Overrides Public Function GetMaxByteCount( _ ByVal charCount As Integer _ ) As Integer [C#] public override int GetMaxByteCount( int charCount ); [C++] public: override int GetMaxByteCount( int charCount ); [JScript] public override function GetMaxByteCount( charCount : int ) : int;
The maximum number of bytes required to encode a given number of characters.
This method can be used to determine an appropriate buffer size for byte arrays passed to GetBytes or GetBytes for this encoding. All encoding must guarantee that no buffer overflow exceptions will occur if buffers are sized according to the results of this method.
