    </summary>
    <remarks>
      <para> Characters are abstract entities that can be represented using
      many different character schemes or codepages. For example, Unicode UTF-16 encoding
      represents, or encodes, characters as sequences of 16-bit integers while
      Unicode UTF-8 represents the same characters as sequences of 8-bit bytes.</para>
      <para>The BCL includes the following types derived
      from <see cref="T:System.Text.Encoding" />:</para>
      <list type="bullet">

              <see cref="T:System.Text.ASCIIEncoding" /> - encodes Unicode characters as

         Unicode character as two consecutive bytes. Both little-endian and big-endian byte
         orders are supported.</para>

            <para>
              <see cref="T:System.Text.UTF8Encoding" /> - encodes Unicode characters using
         the UTF-8 (UCS Transformation Format, 8-bit form) encoding. This encoding
         supports all Unicode character values.</para>
          </term>
        </item>
      </list>
      <para> An application can use the
   properties of this class such as <see cref="P:System.Text.Encoding.ASCII" />, <see cref="P:System.Text.Encoding.Default" />, <see cref="P:System.Text.Encoding.Unicode" />,
   and <see cref="P:System.Text.Encoding.UTF8" /> to obtain encodings. Applications can
   initialize new instances of <see cref="T:System.Text.Encoding" /> objects through the
<see cref="T:System.Text.ASCIIEncoding" />, <see cref="T:System.Text.UnicodeEncoding" />, and <see cref="T:System.Text.UTF8Encoding" /> 
classes.</para>
      <para>Through an encoding, the <see cref="M:System.Text.Encoding.GetBytes(System.Char[])" /> method is used to convert
arrays of Unicode characters to arrays of bytes, and the <see cref="M:System.Text.Encoding.GetChars(System.Byte[])" /> method is used to convert arrays of bytes
to arrays of Unicode characters. The <see cref="M:System.Text.Encoding.GetBytes(System.Char[])" /> and <see cref="M:System.Text.Encoding.GetChars(System.Byte[])" /> methods maintain no state between
conversions. When the data to be converted is only available in sequential
blocks (such as data read from a stream) or when the amount of data is so large
that it needs to be divided into smaller blocks, an application can choose to
use a <see cref="T:System.Text.Decoder" /> or a
<see cref="T:System.Text.Encoder" /> to perform 
the conversion. Decoders and encoders allow sequential blocks of data to be
converted and they maintain the state required to support conversions of data
that spans adjacent blocks. Decoders and encoders are obtained using
the <see cref="M:System.Text.Encoding.GetDecoder" /> and <see cref="M:System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoder" /> methods.</para>
      <para>The core <see cref="M:System.Text.Encoding.GetBytes(System.Char[])" /> and <see cref="M:System.Text.Encoding.GetChars(System.Byte[])" /> methods require the caller to provide the 
destination buffer and ensure that the buffer is large enough to hold the entire
result of the conversion. When using these methods, either directly on a
<see cref="T:System.Text.Encoding" /> object or on an associated <see cref="T:System.Text.Decoder" /> or 
<see cref="T:System.Text.Encoder" />, an
application can use one of two methods to allocate destination buffers.</para>
      <list type="number">

            <para>The <see cref="M:System.Text.Encoding.GetByteCount(System.Char[])" /> and <see cref="M:System.Text.Encoding.GetCharCount(System.Byte[])" /> methods can be used to
      compute the exact size of the result of a particular conversion, and an
      appropriately sized buffer for that conversion can then be allocated.</para>
          </term>
        </item>
        <item>
          <term>
            <para>The <see cref="M:System.Text.Encoding.GetMaxByteCount(System.Int32)" /> and <see cref="M:System.Text.Encoding.GetMaxCharCount(System.Int32)" /> methods can 
      be used to compute the maximum possible size of a conversion of a given
      number of characters or bytes, regardless of the actual character or byte values, and a
      buffer of that size can then be reused for multiple conversions. </para>
          </term>

      <para>The first method generally uses less memory, whereas the second method
   generally executes faster. </para>

            <para>Unicode characters can be stored in two different byte orders, big-endian and little-endian. On little-endian platforms such as those
         implemented on Intel processors, it is generally more efficient to
         store Unicode characters in little-endian byte order. However, many other
         platforms can store Unicode characters in big-endian byte order. Unicode files
         can be distinguished by the presence of the byte order mark (U+FEFF), which will
         be written as either 0xfe 0xff or 0xff 0xfe. </para>
            <para> This encoding automatically detects a byte order mark and, if necessary,
         switches byte orders.

            <para>Unicode characters can be stored in two different byte orders, big-endian and little-endian. On little-endian platforms such as those
         implemented on Intel processors, it is generally more efficient to
         store Unicode characters in little-endian byte order. However, many other
         platforms can store Unicode characters in big-endian byte order. Unicode files
         can be distinguished by the presence of the byte order mark (U+FEFF), which will
         be written as either 0xfe 0xff or 0xff 0xfe. </para>
            <para> This encoding automatically detects a byte order mark and, if
         necessary, switches byte orders.
