looks as though I confused myself with static members and instance members! for the documentation, make a lot more sense now!
-----Original Message----- From: Rolls, Robert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 2 May 2002 10:23 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [DOTNET] Encoding Namespace Question. I'm a little bit confused over all the encoding types and the documentation and I have a query with the following - is this equivalent - Byte[] a = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("Fred"); Byte[] b = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes("Fred"); and the same for UnicodeEncoding, UTF7Encoding, UTF8Encoding? The documentation also seems all over the place especially what public members the class is supposed to expose? Regards, Robert Rolls -- I'm just a symptom of the moral decay that's gnawing away at the heart of the department. **********************************************************************" This correspondence is for the named person's use only.
