## Encoder::Convert(ArrayPtr\<char_t\>, int, int, ArrayPtr\<uint8_t\>, int, int, bool, int\&, int\&, bool\&) method


Converts characters to bytes.

```cpp
virtual void System::Text::Encoder::Convert(ArrayPtr<char_t> chars, int charIndex, int charCount, ArrayPtr<uint8_t> bytes, int byteIndex, int byteCount, bool flush, int &charsUsed, int &bytesUsed, bool &completed)
```


| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| chars | ArrayPtr\<char_t\> | Characters to encode. |
| charIndex | int | Input buffer offset. |
| charCount | int | Input buffer size. |
| bytes | ArrayPtr\<uint8_t\> | Destination byte buffer. |
| byteIndex | int | Destination array offset. |
| byteCount | int | Destination array size. |
| flush | bool | If true, cleans internal encoder state after calculation. |
| charsUsed | int\& | Reference to variable to store count of characters read. |
| bytesUsed | int\& | Reference to variable to store count of bytes written. |
| completed | bool\& | Reference to variable to be set to true if input buffer was exhausted and to false otherwise. |
