an entire byte array from one encoding to another.
Syntax

public static byte[] Convert(
Encoding srcEncoding,//from ww w . j a va 2 s . c o m
Encoding dstEncoding,
byte[] bytes
)
Parameters
Encoding.Convert(Encoding, Encoding, Byte[]) has the following parameters.
srcEncoding- The encoding format of bytes.dstEncoding- The target encoding format.bytes- The bytes to convert.
Returns
Encoding.Convert(Encoding, Encoding, Byte[]) method returns
Example
using System;//from ww w. j ava 2 s. co m
using System.Text;
class Example
{
static void Main()
{
string unicodeString = "This string contains the unicode character Pi (\u03a0)";
Encoding ascii = Encoding.ASCII;
Encoding unicode = Encoding.Unicode;
byte[] unicodeBytes = unicode.GetBytes(unicodeString);
byte[] asciiBytes = Encoding.Convert(unicode, ascii, unicodeBytes);
char[] asciiChars = new char[ascii.GetCharCount(asciiBytes, 0, asciiBytes.Length)];
ascii.GetChars(asciiBytes, 0, asciiBytes.Length, asciiChars, 0);
string asciiString = new string(asciiChars);
Console.WriteLine(unicodeString);
Console.WriteLine(asciiString);
}
}
The code above generates the following result.
