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'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.
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
ManagedZLib.ManagedZLib.Initialize()

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

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've been working on this challenge for a while now without much luck. What I'm attempting to do is split a MIME byte response into its individual images. I am given the boundary to split on in the HTTP header but when I attempt the following code it doesnt work.

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 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]
View 2 RepliesQuestion: 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...

I am wanting to create a Where statement within my Linq statement, but have hit a bit of a stumbling block.I would like to split a string value, and then search using each array item in the Where clause.In my normal Sql statement I would simply loop through the string array, and build up there Where clause then either pass this to a stored procedure, or just execute the sql string. But am not sure how to do this with Linq to Entity? ( From o In db.TableName Where o.Field LIKE Stringvalue Select o ).ToList()
View 5 RepliesGiven a string of categories, I need to split the string and insert each separate item as a new record using EF.The following does not work since string cannot be converted to Tag:

How can i split the string and insert each as a new tag record?
Is there a better way of testing if a string can be converted to an integer other than something like the following?

I'd like to convert a string which contains a decimal number into string that contains the binary value, the octal and the hexadecimal value of that decimal number.Afterwards I also like to convert a string containing a binary, octal and hexd. number into a decimal string.Basically I'm looking for the functions:
dec2bin
dec2oct
dec2hex
bin2dec
oct2dec
hex2dec
I'd not prefer to rewrite a function, I'm sure the framework must have these functions already.
After checking an Xps file i noticed that the string within the Xps file <> is converted to <>So is there any built-in function in the .Net framework that could do this job for me?If it does not exist what characters becides <> should i escape in myOwn function?
I try to implement a search within an xps file, but searching for <> instead of <> returns nothing.
UPDATE: At least i found the list here of xml document escape characters

View 2 RepliesI'm working on a mass text replacer program because I'm sick of all the 10-day trial ones out there that aren't very good.The entire program is basically finished (All easy stuff), but now I need to code the actual replace/delete stuff, which I'm stuck on because apparently the way I originally intended to do it is not possible.
The way it works is you load a text file (.txt, .cfg, .ini, .doc, etc.) which opens a StreamReader which writes all the data into a listbox. Then you pick whether you want to replace or delete a string. If you select replace, then you enter the string to search for and in another textbox you enter the string to replace it with.
The way I originally intended to do this was like this:
If o1.Text = "Replace" Then 'The option
Replace(txtfile, str1, a1) 'txtfile is the data, str1 is the string to find and a1 is the replacement
End If
The problem is, I believe this method requires txtfile, str1 and a1 to be strings, but they're all 1-dimensional string arrays, which cannot be converted to strings, or at least I don't know how to convert them.
A friend told me one way I could do this is to open both a StreamReader and StreamWriter and do the replace/delete line by line as they are entered into the memory and write them to a temporary file which is then copied over the original. I can do this kind of, but I still don't know the proper way of doing the actual replace code because the string to find and the string to replace with are still 1-dimensional string arrays rather than strings.
