The snippet says it all 🙂
UTF8Encoding enc = new UTF8Encoding(true/*include Byte Order Mark*/); byte[] data = enc.GetBytes('a'); // data has length 1. // I expected the BOM to be included. What's up?
You wouldn’t want it to be used for every call to GetBytes, otherwise you’d have no way of (say) writing a file a line at a time.
By exposing it with GetPreamble, callers can insert the preamble just at the appropriate point (i.e. at the start of their data). I agree that the documentation could be a lot clearer though.
