StringBuilder Encode Charset

Demonstrates the importance of the charset argument when encoding/decoding. C#

string s = "é é é";

Chilkat.StringBuilder sb = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();

sb.Append(s);
sb.EntityDecode();

//  The string now contains: "é é é"
Debug.WriteLine(sb.GetAsString());

//  If encoded to hex using the iso-8859-1 charset, 
//  each é char is represented in 1 byte.
//  Output: E920E920E9
Debug.WriteLine(sb.GetEncoded("hex","iso-8859-1"));

//  If encoded to hex using the utf-8 charset, 
//  each é char is represented in 2 bytes.
//  Output: C3A920C3A920C3A9
Debug.WriteLine(sb.GetEncoded("hex","utf-8"));

//  Here's utf-16
//  Output: E9002000E9002000E900
Debug.WriteLine(sb.GetEncoded("hex","utf-16"));

//  utf-32
//  Output: E900000020000000E900000020000000E9000000
Debug.WriteLine(sb.GetEncoded("hex","utf-32"));
