    ArgumentOutOfRangeException This exception is thrown if the row or column parameters are outside the range of valid values: (1 to Rows) or (1 to Columns).
    Remarks
    The length argument specifies the number of screen bytes to get. In the single-byte character set (SBCS), the number of screen bytes is the same as that of ScreenCharacter objects. In the double-byte character set (DBCS), the two numbers can be different. If the last byte is only half of a DBCS character, the last byte is not returned.
