public:
 virtual int TransformBlock(cli::array <System::Byte> ^ inputBuffer, int inputOffset, int inputCount, cli::array <System::Byte> ^ outputBuffer, int outputOffset);
public int TransformBlock (byte[] inputBuffer, int inputOffset, int inputCount, byte[] outputBuffer, int outputOffset);
abstract member TransformBlock : byte[] * int * int * byte[] * int -> int
override this.TransformBlock : byte[] * int * int * byte[] * int -> int
Public Function TransformBlock (inputBuffer As Byte(), inputOffset As Integer, inputCount As Integer, outputBuffer As Byte(), outputOffset As Integer) As Integer

Parameters

inputBuffer
Byte[]

The input to compute from base 64.

inputOffset
Int32

The offset into the input byte array from which to begin using data.

inputCount
Int32

The number of bytes in the input byte array to use as data.

outputBuffer
Byte[]

The output to which to write the result.

outputOffset
Int32

The offset into the output byte array from which to begin writing data.

Returns

The number of bytes written.

Implements

Exceptions

The current FromBase64Transform object has already been disposed.

inputCount uses an invalid value.

-or-

inputBuffer has an invalid offset length.

inputOffset is out of range. This parameter requires a non-negative number.

inputBuffer is null.

Examples

The following example decrypts a base 64-encoded file to an output text file.

      //Open the input and output files.
      FileStream^ myInputFile = gcnew FileStream( inFileName,FileMode::Open,FileAccess::Read );
      FileStream^ myOutputFile = gcnew FileStream( outFileName,FileMode::Create,FileAccess::Write );
      
      //Retrieve the file contents into a Byte array.
      array<Byte>^myInputBytes = gcnew array<Byte>(myInputFile->Length);
      myInputFile->Read( myInputBytes, 0, myInputBytes->Length );
