Syntax

public class ByteOrderMark

Constructors

ByteOrderMark(Byte[])

The only public constructor demands a reference to the byte array to evaluate.

Declaration

public ByteOrderMark(byte[] bytes)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Byte[]	bytes	Supply a reference to the byte array to test for a Byte Order Mark.

Properties

Kind

This read-only property returns the type of Byte Order Mark present in the byte array that was supplied to the constructor.

Declaration

public ByteOrderMark.BOMType Kind { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
ByteOrderMark.BOMType

Length

This read-only property returns the length of the Byte Order Mark.

Declaration

public int Length { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Int32

Remarks

Since the property is initialized on first use, it may display an invalid value of -1 in a watch window.

Methods

TestForBOM()

If it hasn't been directly called, the first call to either property getter calls this method, so that the work required to evaluate the array for a byte order mark is deferred until it is needed, and it is never subsequently repeated for the lifetime of the instance.

Declaration

public void TestForBOM()
