abstract class

Encoding.GetEncoder( ) returns an instance of this type, which converts character arrays to byte arrays using the encoding subclass from which it was constructed . This class exposes the GetBytes( ) method, which converts a sequence of character blocks into a sequence of byte blocks. Since Encoder maintains state between calls to GetBytes( ) , it can deal with partial sequences that occur at block boundaries.

The last argument to GetBytes( ) is a boolean that specifies whether the internal buffer is flushed after the method is called. If true , state information on the object is lost between blocks. If false (the default), the buffer is maintained . A call with flushing set to true is needed on the final call to Encoding.GetBytes( ) to close the byte array properly.
