LengthOfBytesUsingEncoding Method (enc)

Returns the number of bytes required to store the receiver in a given encoding.

Original signature is '- (NSUInteger)lengthOfBytesUsingEncoding:(NSStringEncoding)enc'

Available in Mac OS X v10.4 and later.

Declaration Syntax

Visual Basic

Visual C++

public virtual NSUInteger LengthOfBytesUsingEncoding(
	NSStringEncoding enc
)

Public Overridable Function LengthOfBytesUsingEncoding ( _
	enc As NSStringEncoding _
) As NSUInteger

public:
virtual NSUInteger LengthOfBytesUsingEncoding(
	NSStringEncoding enc
)

Parameters

enc (NSStringEncoding): The encoding for which to determine the receiver's length.

Return Value

The number of bytes required to store the receiver in the encoding enc in a non-external representation. The length does not include space for a terminating NULL character. Returns 0 if the specified encoding cannot be used to convert the receiver or if the amount of memory required for storing the results of the encoding conversion would exceed NSIntegerMax.
