url...we get the encoded as alphapet base64..i want to talk as low level programming what will happen or this data how it will represent as binary and send it is it encoded again as ascii to binary or there is another idea.
View 12 RepliesI am writing a little project to parse a CSS file, and base64 encode all the background images.While I am able to parse the CSS correctly, it seems that everytime I try to convert the image file into a base64Encoded string, the string returned is always exactly the same.Please assume that all image paths are passing correctly to the method. In this instance, all images are fully qualified urls, so the first section of the method is what is doing the conversion.[code]

I'm trying to convert standard bytes like so:
00DEAD00BEEF0000
and convert it to base64.
I want it to go from bytes -> Base64.
Not
String -> Base64.
Question: In order to store logos in a database and display them dynamically in ms-reporting service, I need to base64 encode the image. It doesn't work with binary saved images, due to MS limitations...
Now my question: Which datatype do I use? Varchar, nvarchar or text? I guess varchar would be good enough, since base64 encoded, but images might be larger than 4000 characters...

So I've been going around the internet looking for a way to convert regular text(string) into base64 string and found many solutions. I'm trying to use:
Dim byt As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(TextBox1.Text)
TextBox2.Text = convert.ToBase64String(byt)
but it end up with an error saying
'ToBase64String' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.Timer'.
I am trying to convert a TIFF image to a base 64 string.I have seen so much code on the internet like the one below, but I don't understand it .I dont know what to change so it converts my image(s).I want the outcome (the bytes) as a variable that I can use outside this function. Know how to do that?
Private Function BytesToImage(ByVal ImageBytes() As Byte) As Image
Dim imgNew As Image
Dim memImage As New System.IO.MemoryStream(ImageBytes)[code]..........
I have some problems with converting the Image to Base64.
Functions:
Public Function ImageToString(ByVal im As Image) As String
Dim ms As New MemoryStream()
Dim.Save(ms, im.RawFormat)
Dim array As Byte() = ms.ToArray()
Return Convert.ToBase64String(array)
[Code] .....
I use this code for converting it:
StringToImage("Some Picture...")
But when I try to do the ImageToString, I need to enter something like this:
ImageToString(imageString)
How can I get that imageString?
I have come across some Base64 conversion functions in .net(FromBase64.string etc). What i want is, for a sample, i have a base 64 encoded string as
"48YwojCi4yaiow==".
I need to convert this string to the corresponding Hexadecimal text(The sample stands for "Thisistest" in hex text) The below link is an online converter from base64 to hexadecimal text. If you give the same base64 encoded data in the link , click on convert, the one that is seen below "Hexadecimal text" is what I need.

Is there a standard library function in vb.net which does this? Converting a base 64 data to a hexadecimal text?
My app receives a PDF as a base64, zLib deflated string in an xml file. At least that's the format I'm told it is in. It gets stored in a database, then I need to recreate the PDF from that string. I created a test app to figure it out. The function below takes the string and is supposed to return it in a decoded, inflated format which I believe I'll be able to use to rebuild the original PDF (I'm not there yet). I've done lots of research and found a few different libraries and ways to do this as well as received a java program from the developer who is sending me the PDF to use as an example. However I can not get the string to a usable format. Using the ManagedZLib.dll and the function below seems to get me the closest. As far as I can tell from debugging, everything works until I try to decompress:
zStream.Read(decompressedBytes, 0, decodedBytes.Length - 1)
This produces a "zLib error: -3". The only info I can find on that error is it is a 'data error'. There is very little other information on the web about it.
Public Function DecompressString4(ByVal origString As String) As String
Dim returnString = Nothing
' get the base64 content into String

I don't think the web server is trying to encode anything as there are no + symbols within the url string and I have just glanced over the two to compair they are the same.This returns a blank string whereas when I use the sections commented out in the first loop i get a really weired string back and when I use their simpleXor function it just returns complete nonsense.

I need to Base64 encode a string, but the encoded string cannot contain "+". Wikipedia mentions a modified Base64 for URL, but I can't find a .NET class which uses this.For my application, I can't even URL encode "+" into "%2B". This is because I pass the encoded string to a service which I have no control over, and that service mangles any strings which contain "%2B". For this reason, I want my encoded string to only contain A-Z, a-z, 0-9, -, and _.
View 2 RepliesI have done very little with encoding of Text. Truthfully, I don't really even know what it means exactly.
For example, if I have something like:
CODE:
Is that 'encoded' in memory in a particular format? Does that format depend on what language I'm using?
If I were in another country, like China, for example, and I had a string of Chinese (mandarin? My apologies if I'm using the wrong words here) would the following code (that I've used fine on English strings) still work the same?
CODE:
Or would it lose all meaning when you convert that .Net string to a UTF8Encoding when that conversion isn't valid?
Finally, I've worked with .Net for a few years now and I've never seen, heard, or had to do anything with Encoding. Am I the exception, or is it not a common thing to do?

I would like to know the way a stream or a string is encoded before converting it. If a string is not utf-8 it would be converted to utf-8.
View 1 RepliesWe know a tolower function will turn all A to a How to turn all à to a.The purpose is I am creating ids for databases and id need to be unique. Sometimes the same stores are written as à in one place and as a on other places. This will create duplicate id problem.So I need a function that will turn all à and all of it's variation into a. The same way ě should become e.
Basically I would use utf8_unicode collation on my databases. Letters that count as the same letter under that collation should map to the same character under this function.I need to make sure that all other east asian characers are not affected in anyway.
I have a challange to convert the detected Encoding format of Text file to selected Encoding format. Like if the detected file is in Utf-8 and if user want to convert the encoding to Utf-16 or ANCII or Unicode. It will happen on one button click and the file will convert to the desired output encoding format.
Right Now I am able to detect the encoding but conversion not happening.
I have an application that collects a signature on a handheld device, saves the data as a byte array and transmits it to the pc. This came originally from a sample from MS. The sample works fine.In my case I am sending this signature back to the pc where it is received by a VB6 application and stuffed into a database and then there is a dot net program that can or should be able to pull that data and reproduce the image.
Due to certian characters that may appear in the data such as ' " Null and such I run a little replacement routine on the data before I save it on the device and run the reverse before I try to rebuild the image. This also seems to be working.
Now if I save the data as a file on the device and load that file into my viewer the sig shows up just fine. It works with both the file that has had the replacements done as well as the one which has not. However when I transfer the data via my vb 6 application the sig is then distorted when viewed.
I have written the data to file as it comes into the pc and again after it has been parsed and in both cases it does not match what was actually in the file on the device that is being sent and I can not for the life of me figure out what is going on here.
Code:
sBytes = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(DataString)
bSent = wSocket.Send(sBytes)
Code:
Winsock1(Index).GetData strData, vbString
When I compare the file created on the handheld device with the one created ont he pc from the data received it gets odd. In text mode both files look alike even with the terminal font enabled but in binary mode they are different.The first noticable difference in Hex View is a ways into the first line the file from the handheld device has C3 A0 but the file written on the pc has E0 instead from there on all bytes are shifted by 1 yet when I look at it in text view no bytes are shifted and the character displayed where C3 A0 is in one and E0 in the other is the same accented a character.
I have a byte array that I'm encoding to a string:[code]Then I write that to a file via IO.File.AppendAllText.If I open that file in 010 Editor (to view the binary data) it displays as this:47 43 44 53 79 73 74 65 6D 73 3F 0A 01 32 31 36..The original byte array contained 89 at position 11, and the encoded string contains 3F.If I change my encoding to Encoding.Default.GetString, it gives me:47 43 44 53 79 73 74 65 6D 73 E2 80 B0 0A 01 32 31 36.
