认真学过C#或.NET的同学应该知道，在.NET中，string是以char组成的，而char则表示16位Unicode的字符，字节流则以byte[]表示。字节流要想变为字符串，就要进行解码（XXXXXXXXXXXtString），而有时候我们并不想解码，而是按照C语言中习惯的方法使用这些字符串，这时候就需要使用28591代码页了。

28591代码页介绍：
在Windows和.NET中，28591代码页指ISO-8859-1编码，是一种曾经广泛用于UNIX操作系统的单字节编码标准。它针对ASCII进行了扩展，其中80-9F为扩展控制字符，A0-FF加入了西欧语言常用的扩展字符。它的特殊之处在于，Unicode制定时考虑与它兼容，因此Unicode前256个字符与它是完全一一对应的。也就是说，28591代码页将8位字符直接扩展为16位字符。这个性质让它在编程中非常有用。另外，28591是.NET框架原生支持的代码页，在Windows和Linux/UNIX中都能使用，不必担心不可用的问题。

28591应用场合：需要按字节操作，但需要string类提供的便利的时候。
