Compare buffers

This example code shows how to compare buffers in a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app.

public void CompareBuffers()
{
    // Create a hexadecimal string.
    String strHex = "30310aff";

    // Create a Base64 string that is equivalent to strHex.
    String strBase64v1 = "MDEK/w==";

    // Create a Base64 string that is not equivalent to strHex.
    String strBase64v2 = "KEDM/w==";

    // Decode strHex to a buffer.
    IBuffer buff1 = CryptographicBuffer.DecodeFromHexString(strHex);

    // Decode strBase64v1 to a buffer.
    IBuffer buff2 = CryptographicBuffer.DecodeFromBase64String(strBase64v1);

    // Decode strBase64v2 to a buffer.
    IBuffer buff3 = CryptographicBuffer.DecodeFromBase64String(strBase64v2);

    // Compare the hexadecimal-decoded buff1 to the Base64-decoded buff2.
    // The code points in the two buffers are equal, and the Boolean value
    // is true.
    Boolean bVal_1 = CryptographicBuffer.Compare(buff1, buff2);

    // Compare the hexadecimal-decoded buff1 to the Base64-decoded buff3.
    // The code points in the two buffers are not equal, and the Boolean value
    // is false.
    Boolean bVal_2 = CryptographicBuffer.Compare(buff1, buff3);
}
