When overridden in a derived class, gets the name registered with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for the current encoding.
Syntax
Value
The name of the encoding in web form.
Remarks
The Encoding.WebName property is the same as the EncodingInfo.Name property.
Note that Encoding.WebName returns an IANA-registered name for the encoding. When its value is the name of a standard, the actual implementation of the encoding may not conform in full to that standard. The Encoding.HeaderName property defines a different encoding that might work better for e-mail headers. However, most applications should use Encoding.WebName instead.
For more information on the IANA, go to tp://www.iana.org/.
The Encoding.WebName is the same as the EncodingInfo.Name returned by Encoding.GetEncodings. Some of the web names are duplicates; see the remarks for Encoding.GetEncodings for more information.
