\section{\class{wxDataOutputStream}}\label{wxdataoutputstream}
This class provides functions that write binary data types in a
-portable way. Data can be written in either big-endian or litte-endian
+portable way. Data can be written in either big-endian or little-endian
format, little-endian being the default on all architectures.
If you want to write data to text files (or streams) use
\func{}{wxDataOutputStream}{\param{wxOutputStream\&}{ stream}}
+\func{}{wxDataOutputStream}{\param{wxOutputStream\&}{ stream}, \param{wxMBConv\&}{ conv = wxMBConvUTF8}}
+
Constructs a datastream object from an output stream. Only write methods will
-be available.
+be available. The second form is only available in Unicode build of wxWindows.
\wxheading{Parameters}
\docparam{stream}{The output stream.}
+\docparam{conv}{Charset conversion object object used to encoding Unicode
+strings before writing them to the stream
+in Unicode mode (see \helpref{wxDataOutputStream::WriteString}{wxdataoutputstreamwritestring}
+documentation for detailed description). Note that you must not destroy
+{\it conv} before you destroy this wxDataOutputStream instance! It is
+recommended to use default value (UTF-8).}

\membersection{wxDataOutputStream::\destruct{wxDataOutputStream}}
\func{}{\destruct{wxDataOutputStream}}{\void}
Writes the double {\it f} to the stream using the IEEE format.

+\membersection{wxDataOutputStream::WriteString}\label{wxdataoutputstreamwritestring}

+\func{void}{WriteString}{{\param const wxString\&}{string}}
-\func{void}{WriteString}{{\param const wxString\& }{string}}
Writes {\it string} to the stream. Actually, this method writes the size of
the string before writing {\it string} itself.
+In ANSI build of wxWindows, the string is written to the stream in exactly
+same way it is represented in memory. In Unicode build, however, the string
+is first converted to multibyte representation with {\it conv} object passed
+to stream's constructor (consequently, ANSI application can read data
+written by Unicode application, as long as they agree on encoding) and this
+representation is written to the stream. UTF-8 is used by default.
