C# convert byte[] to string with a charset

Question

In C# How can we convert byte[] to string with a charset.eg utf8,SHIFT_JIS,and more .I know Encoding.UTF8

byte[] inputBytes =SupportClass.ToByteArray(readBytes);
StringBuilder result;
result.Append(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(inputBytes,0,inputBytes.Length));//get unreadable code.

my question is how can I get the result from inputBytes with a special charset,like java

StringBuffer result.append(new String(buffer, "SJIS"));

Answer 1

System.Text.Encoding enc = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("shift-jis");
result.Append(enc.GetString(inputBytes,0,inputBytes.Length));

Answer 2

Instead of Encoding.UTF8, use Encoding.GetEncoding.

E.g.

private static readonly Encoding SHIFT_JIS = Encoding.GetEncoding("Shift_JIS");

SHIFT_JIS.GetString(inputBytes,0,inputBytes.Length)
