ASCIIEncoding: GetCharsEx

GetCharsEx

Decodes a set of bytes into the supplied Integer array.



 Public Function GetCharsEx(
	  ByRef Bytes ( ) As Byte,
	  ByVal ByteIndex As Long,
	  ByVal ByteCount As Long,
	  ByRef Chars ( ) As Integer,
	  ByVal CharIndex As Long ) As Long

Parameters

Bytes
[ByRef] Byte. The set of bytes to be decoded into characters.
ByteIndex
[ByVal] Long. The index of the first byte to begin decoding from.
ByteCount
[ByVal] Long. The number of bytes to be used in decoding.
Chars
[ByRef] Integer. The destination character array for the decoded bytes.
CharIndex
[ByVal] Long. The first index to begin storing decoded bytes in Chars.

Return Values

Long -  The number of characters decoded from the array of bytes.

Remarks

The Chars array must be large enough to handle all the bytes that will be decoded. To ensure the Chars array is large enough, use either GetCharCount or GetMaxCharCount to determine a size that will hold the decoded bytes.
