ASCIIEncoding Class

Represents an ASCII character implementation of System.Text.Encoding .

Syntax

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(true)]
public class ASCIIEncoding : Encoding

Remarks

System.Text.ASCIIEncoding encodes characters as single 7-bit ASCII characters. This encoding supports Unicode code points between U+0000 and U+007F, inclusive.

Note: The limited range of code points supported by System.Text.ASCIIEncoding makes ASCII inadequate for many internationalized applications. System.Text.UTF8Encoding and System.Text.UnicodeEncoding provide encodings that are more suitable for internationalized applications.
