Examples

The following code example demonstrates the EncoderExceptionFallback and EncoderFallbackException classes.

// This example demonstrates the EncoderExceptionFallback class.

using namespace System;

    // Create an encoding, which is equivalent to calling the
    // ASCIIEncoding class constructor.
    // The EncoderExceptionFallback parameter causes an exception to
    // be thrown when a character cannot be encoded.
    // A decoder exception fallback is also specified, but it is not
    // used because this example terminates during the encoding operation.

    Encoding^ asciiEncoding = Encoding::GetEncoding("us-ascii",
        gcnew EncoderExceptionFallback(), gcnew DecoderExceptionFallback());

    // The input string consists of the Unicode characters LEFT POINTING
    // DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK (U+00AB), 'X' (U+0058), and RIGHT
    // POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK (U+00BB).
    // The encoding can only encode characters in the US-ASCII range of
    // U+0000 through U+007F. Consequently, the characters bracketing the
    // 'X' character cause an exception.
    String^ inputString = L"\u00abX\u00bb";

    String^ twoNewLines = Environment::NewLine + Environment::NewLine;
    array<Byte>^ encodedBytes = gcnew array<Byte>(
        asciiEncoding->GetMaxByteCount(inputString->Length));
    int numberOfEncodedBytes = 0;
