[This method is no longer available for use as of Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista.]

The binaryToString method converts a binary data BLOB to a string. This method was first defined in the ICEnroll4 interface.

This method uses the CryptBinaryToString function to do the conversion.

Syntax

  [in]  LONG Flags,
  [in]  BSTR strBinary,
  [out] BSTR *pstrEncoded
);

Parameters

[in] Flags

[in] strBinary

If the method succeeds, the method returns S_OK.

If the method fails, it returns an HRESULT value that indicates the error. For a list of common error codes, see Common HRESULT Values.
