This method converts the given string from the source code page of the Conversionobject to its destination code page.

Syntax 

HRESULT DoConversion( 
  BYTE* 
pSrcStr,
  UINT* 
pcSrcSize,
  BYTE* 
pDstStr,
  UINT* 
pcDstSize
);

Parameters

pSrcStr

[in] Pointer to the string that is to be converted.

pcSrcSize

[in, out] Pointer to an unsigned integer that stores the length of the source string, in bytes. If the value of this parameter is NULL, or if the length specified is -1, the method assumes that the string specified by the pSrcStrparameter is null-terminated.

pDstStr

[in] Pointer to the string where the conversion result is to be stored.

pcDstSize

[in, out] Pointer to an unsigned integer that stores the length, in bytes, of the string specified with the pDstStrparameter. When the conversion is successful, the method returns the number of bytes copied to the buffer.

Return Value

The following table shows the possible return values for this method.

Value Description

S_OK

Success.

S_FALSE

The conversion specified is not supported. This happens when a newly detected code page is not supported on the system.

E_FAIL

An error occurred.

Remarks

This method takes streams and counts regardless of whether the type of conversion is Unicode or multibyte, unlike the IMLangConvertCharset::DoConversionFromUnicodeand IMLangConvertCharset::DoConversionToUnicodemethods.

Requirements

Header mlang.h, mlang.idl
Library mlang.dll
Windows Embedded CE Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later
