GetEncodedSize Method

GetEncodedSize(Int32)

Gets the number of characters needed to encode the data.

C#

public static int GetEncodedSize(int lengthInBytes)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Int32	lengthInBytes	The length of the data to encode.

Returns

System.Int32

The number of characters needed.

Remarks

The other encoding classes don't have the Get*Size methods. However, base-32 encoding represents five bits per character, and padding has to be accounted for, so it's a complex enough of an operation to merit a helper.
