## Decoder::GetChars(ArrayPtr\<uint8_t\>, int, int, ArrayPtr\<char_t\>, int) method


Get the characters that result from decoding a buffer.

```cpp
virtual int System::Text::Decoder::GetChars(ArrayPtr<uint8_t> bytes, int byteIndex, int byteCount, ArrayPtr<char_t> chars, int charIndex)
```


| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| bytes | ArrayPtr\<uint8_t\> | Bytes to decode. |
| byteIndex | int | Input buffer offset. |
| byteCount | int | Input buffer size. |
| chars | ArrayPtr\<char_t\> | Destination character buffer. |
| charIndex | int | Destination array offset. |

### ReturnValue

Number of characters written.
