Class ByteArrayBase64Converters

This static class exposes methods that efficiently encode binary data as Base64 byte arrays and converts such byte arrays into binary data in the form of a new byte array or binary data written into a disk file.

Inheritance

Namespace: WizardWrx.Core

Assembly: WizardWrx.Core.dll

Syntax

public static class ByteArrayBase64Converters : object

Methods

Base64DecodeByteArray(Byte[])

Decode a byte array that represents a set of Base64 encoded characters, returning a new byte array containing their decoded representation.

Declaration

public static byte[] Base64DecodeByteArray(byte[] pabytBase64Characters)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Byte[]	pabytBase64Characters	Pass in a reference to the array of Base64 encoded bytes to be decoded and returned.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Byte[]	The return value is the byte array containing the Base64 decoded bytes. Expect an array containing 3/4 as many elements as the input.

Base64DecodeByteArray2File(String, Byte[])

Decode byte array pabytBase64Characters and write the decoded bytes into file pstrFileName.

Declaration

public static void Base64DecodeByteArray2File(string pstrFileName, byte[] pabytBase64Characters)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	pstrFileName	Specify the name (absolute or relative to the current working directory) of the file into which to write the decoded bytes represented by pabytBase64Characters.
System.Byte[]	pabytBase64Characters	Pass in a reference to the array of Base64 encoded bytes to be decoded and saved into file pstrFileName.

Base64EncodeBinaryFile(String)

Read an input file into a byte array of Base64 encoded characters that represents its contents in a form that can be included in a MIME encoded email message.

Declaration

public static byte[] Base64EncodeBinaryFile(string pstrInputFileName)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	pstrInputFileName	Pass in the absolute or relative (to the Current Working Directory) name of the file to read and encode into a byte array that represents the Base64 encoded characters.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Byte[]	The return value is a byte array that contains 4 characters for each three bytes read from the input file.
