Base class of all classes. |
TEncoding is a mostly abstract class that contains various methods to deal with different encodings in single- and double-byte strings. In practice, one instance of a descendent of this class for each needed encoding can be instantiated and used. The class contains several class methods and properties to create such instances, and has several often-used instances available as class properties, in particular the default encoding.
When using encodings (and in particular TEncoding.Default or TEncoding.ANSI), if the DefaultSystemCodePage changes, you should call TEncoding.FreeEncodings to regenerate the encodings.
