Convert.FromBase64String Method

Converts the specified string, which encodes binary data as base-64 digits, to an equivalent 8-bit unsigned integer array.

Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

public static byte [] FromBase64String (
         string inString
)

Parameters

  • inString
    The base-64 encoded string to convert.

Return Value

An array of 8-bit unsigned integers equivalent to inString.

Remarks

inString is composed of base-64 digits, whitespace characters, and trailing padding characters.

The base-64 digits in ascending order from zero are the uppercase characters 'A' to 'Z', lowercase characters 'a' to 'z', numerals '0' to '9', and the symbols '+' and '/'.

An arbitrary number of white space characters can appear in inString, because all whitespace characters are ignored. The valueless character, '=', is used for trailing padding. The end of inString can consist of zero, one, or two padding characters.

Version Information

Available in the .NET Micro Framework version 4.1 and 4.2.
