C# - Can A String Encoded With Base64 Not Contain "+"

Dec 3, 2009

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 _.

C# - Which Datatype For Base64 Encoded Image

Jul 29, 2010

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...

Convert Base64-encoded Text To Hexadecimal?

Dec 19, 2011

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.

[URL]

Is there a standard library function in vb.net which does this? Converting a base 64 data to a hexadecimal text?

Inflating A Base64 String: Zlib Error: 3

Feb 8, 2012

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
ManagedZLib.ManagedZLib.Initialize()

Base64 - Decrypt The String Returned Back From SagePay?

Jan 25, 2011

I have been having some problems trying to decrypt the string returned back from SagePay.I used their asp.net kit which included the encrypt and decrypt functions using base64 - sending the information to SagePay is not a problem but I am having a number of problems trying to descrypt the string.Here is the function I am using to descypt:

Private Function base64Decode(ByVal strEncoded As String) As String
Dim iRealLength As Integer
Dim strReturn As String
Dim iBy4 As Integer

[code]....

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.

HTML-encode A String And Use Human-readable Encoded Tags?

Apr 14, 2010

Greetings, I'm looking for a way to encode a string into HTML that uses human-readable tags such as ê (=ê). At the moment, I am using the HttpUtility.HtmlEncode() function, but it appears to return numbered tags instead of human-readable ones. For example:

Dim str as string = HttpUtility;HtmlEncode("vente - en-tête")
'Expected: vente - en-tête
'Actually received: vente - en-tête

Is there a setting or function in ASP.Net to encode a string into HTML resembling the first comment?

EDIT: I am looking for this kind of functionality because the text is saved HTML-encoded in the database. The text comes from a bunch of MS Word documents that have been converted to HTML.

Base64 Encoding Images In CSS

Apr 20, 2012

I 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]

Ampersand (&) In Data - Does It Need To Be Encoded

Jan 11, 2011

I have a data table being returned that populates a repeater. One of the fields has the & character in the data and displays perfectly within the asp:literal on the screen. The source shows the & character un-encoded.My question is this: Does it NEED to be encoded? A co-worker is insisting that it must be encoded in order to be "HTML compliant". But it works perfectly for display purposes. Is this REALLY required for any type of compliance that I should even be worrying about?

How To Convert Standard To Encoded Hex

Sep 3, 2011

I have an example of standard text (in Hex form) in a specific encoding (selected by the user). And I have a weirdly encoded text which is in the same encoding but a little different. How do I convert the Standard to the encoded Hex?

Cyrillic (ISO-8859-5) Example:
## 12 91 BB BE BA B8 C0 2E 20 CD BA C0 B0 BD B0 20 B8 20 BA BB B0 B2 2E <- ALTERNATIVE
B1 DB DE DA D8 E0 2E 20 ED DA E0 D0 DD D0 20 D8 20 DA DB D0 D2 2E <- STANDARD
Diff. from Standard (in Decimal): -32

Hebrew Visual (ISO-8859-8) Example:
## 1C 0B E0 E2 D9 DC EA 20 DE E1 DA 20 D5 DE E7 E9 D9 DD <- ALTERNATIVE
F0 F2 E9 EC FA 20 EE F1 EA 20 E5 EE F7 F9 E9 ED <- STANDARD

.net - Read 2D Barcode Encoded With Base256?

May 25, 2012

I have to read a 2D barcode that's encoded with base256. When I scan the barcode, it sends different characters as it comes from the keyboard and it changes the focus, turns visual studio in full screen, give the command to send to printer from notepad++.

I guess it reads ALT + TAB, CTRL + P, ALT + SHIFT, etc. and i can't capture all the bytes from the barcode.

I tried to capture the event on textbox KeyPress method with e.handled = True and e.keyChar added to the bytes()

On form.load I set:

Me.KeyPreview = True

And tried also on form.KeyDown with no luck.

Use With A Textbox In VB Swiping A Card With Magnetic Encoded Data?

Feb 15, 2012

I have created a program in Visual Basic using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional. There is a textbox that I use in the program that when the focus is placed on it will take the data encoded on a magnetic striped card such as a driver's license or any card that has this kind of data encoded magnetically. Very simple to get the data as the program takes all of it upon the swipe without having to do really anything, however, the problem is that I don't know which declaration to use when the swipe has stopped - or the last character has been entered. Currently I am using TextBox1_textChanged as my declaration, but that is called every time each character is put into the text box. When you are swiping, this is an ongoing process until the last character is put in. So if I have a magentic card with 10 characters in it, this method will be called 10 times. Is there a declaration that I can use that only fires off whent he swipe has loaded all of the characters or some kind of loop that I can incorporate?

Posting MIME Encoded Attachment To Ariba Supplier Network

I'm having an issue with trying to use VB.NET and the WebRequest object to post some cXML text and an attachment.I believe I am formatting the text of the data I wish to post correctly, as it matches samples Ariba has supplied. What I am uncertain of is if I am correctly using the WebRequest object to do the posting.I am setting the Method as "POST" and the ContentType as "multipart/mixed".I can successfully post cXML (using a ContentType of "text/xml") The message I get back from Ariba is "The document could not be parsed: Missing start boundary [ANCLS-741552]", however, as the following code shows, there is a start boundary.I have removed some proprietary data and replaced it with "...". Following the MIME text, I have included the relevant VB.NET code I am using.[code]
