Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
This member can be used only by trusted applications. If you try to use this member in a partial-trust application, your code will throw a MethodAccessException exception. This member is security-critical, which restricts its use.
[SECURITY CRITICAL]
Converts a buffer of Unicode characters to an encoded byte sequence and stores the result in another buffer.
This API is not CLS-compliant. The CLS-compliant alternative is Convert(array<Char[], Int32, Int32, array<Byte[], Int32, Int32, Boolean, Int32%, Int32%, Boolean%).

Parameters
- chars
Type: System.Char*
The address of a string of UTF-16 encoded characters to convert.
- charCount
Type: System.Int32
The number of characters in chars to convert.
- bytes
Type: System.Byte*
The address of a buffer to store the converted bytes.
- byteCount
Type: System.Int32
The maximum number of bytes in bytes to use in the conversion.
- flush
Type: System.Boolean
true to indicate no further data is to be converted; otherwise, false.
- charsUsed
Type: System.Int32%
When this method returns, contains the number of characters from chars that were used in the conversion. This parameter is passed uninitialized.
- bytesUsed
Type: System.Int32%
When this method returns, contains the number of bytes that were used in the conversion. This parameter is passed uninitialized.
- completed
Type: System.Boolean%
When this method returns, contains true if all the characters specified by charCount were converted; otherwise, false. This parameter is passed uninitialized.
