ASCIIEncoding

ASCIIEncoding


Provides a set of methods used to encode and decode chars to and from bytes in ASCII format.

Remarks

Encoding characters to bytes using ASCII encoding will produce a 1:1 ratio for each character-to-byte encoding. If the character is greater than 127, then it will be replaced with character 63 (?).

To create a new ASCIIEncoding use the New function.

 Set en = New ASCIIEncoding
