Parameters

chars

The character array containing the set of characters to encode.

index

The index of the first character to encode.

count

The number of characters to encode.

Returns

The number of bytes produced by encoding the specified characters.

Remarks

To calculate the exact array size required by UTF7Encoding.GetBytes(string, int, int, Byte[], int) to store the resulting bytes, the application uses UTF7Encoding.GetByteCount(Char[], int, int). To calculate the maximum array size, the application should use UTF7Encoding.GetMaxByteCount(int). The UTF7Encoding.GetByteCount(Char[], int, int) method generally allows allocation of less memory, while the UTF7Encoding.GetMaxByteCount(int) method generally executes faster.
