utf32 65005 or 12000

dotnet internationalization:

If you look at the MSDN sample for Encoding.GetEncoding Method (Int32) it
shows the below sample code..
// Get a UTF-32 encoding by codepage.
Encoding e1 = Encoding.GetEncoding( 65005 );

// Get a UTF-32 encoding by name.
Encoding e2 = Encoding.GetEncoding( "utf-32" );

// Check their equality.
Console.WriteLine( "e1 equals e2? {0}", e1.Equals( e2 ) );

The problem is that the first line throws an exception:
System.NotSupportedException Additional information: No data is available
for encoding 65005.

If I look at the code page property when using the "utf-32" string it says
12000.

Which one is correct? Why does the sample show 65005 as utf-32 when the
function thinks 12000 is the utf32 codepage?

12000 is UTF-32LE (little-endian) and 12001 is UTF-32BE (big-endian),
if you still want to go by codepage.

But I find that getting the encoder by name (or using Encoding.UTF32)
is much more readable than 12000

I tend to use the System.Text.UTF32Encoding, because it gives me control
on byte-endiannes and BOM.

So the sample is just a documentation bug/error?

// Get a UTF-32 encoding by codepage.
Encoding e1 = Encoding.GetEncoding( 65005 );
