Convert.ToBase64CharArray Method

Definition

Converts a subset of an 8-bit unsigned integer array to an equivalent subset of a Unicode character array encoded with base-64 digits.

Overloads

ToBase64CharArray(Byte[], Int32, Int32, Char[], Int32, Base64FormattingOptions)

Converts a subset of an 8-bit unsigned integer array to an equivalent subset of a Unicode character array encoded with base-64 digits. Parameters specify the subsets as offsets in the input and output arrays, the number of elements in the input array to convert, and whether line breaks are inserted in the output array.

ToBase64CharArray(Byte[], Int32, Int32, Char[], Int32)

Converts a subset of an 8-bit unsigned integer array to an equivalent subset of a Unicode character array encoded with base-64 digits. Parameters specify the subsets as offsets in the input and output arrays, and the number of elements in the input array to convert.

Public Shared Function ToBase64CharArray (inArray As Byte(), offsetIn As Integer, length As Integer, outArray As Char(), offsetOut As Integer, options As Base64FormattingOptions) As Integer

Parameters

inArray
Byte[]

An input array of 8-bit unsigned integers.

offsetIn
Int32

A position within inArray.

length
Int32

The number of elements of inArray to convert.

outArray
Char[]

An output array of Unicode characters.

offsetOut
Int32

A position within outArray.

options
Base64FormattingOptions

InsertLineBreaks to insert a line break every 76 characters, or None to not insert line breaks.

Returns

A 32-bit signed integer containing the number of bytes in outArray.

Attributes

Exceptions

inArray or outArray is null.

offsetIn, offsetOut, or length is negative.

-or-

offsetIn plus length is greater than the length of inArray.

-or-

offsetOut plus the number of elements to return is greater than the length of outArray.

options is not a valid Base64FormattingOptions value.

Examples

The following example demonstrates the ToBase64CharArray method. The input is divided into groups of three bytes (24 bits) each. Consequently, each group consists of four 6-bit numbers where each number ranges from decimal 0 to 63. In this example, there are 85 3-byte groups with one byte remaining. The first group consists of the hexadecimal values 00, 01, and 02, which yield four 6-bit values equal to decimal 0, 0, 4, and 2. Those four values correspond to the base-64 digits "A", "A", "E", and "C" at the beginning of the output.

If an integral number of 3-byte groups does not exist, the remaining bytes are effectively padded with zeros to form a complete group. In this example, the value of the last byte is hexadecimal FF. The first 6 bits are equal to decimal 63, which corresponds to the base-64 digit "/" at the end of the output, and the next 2 bits are padded with zeros to yield decimal 48, which corresponds to the base-64 digit, "w". The last two 6-bit values are padding and correspond to the valueless padding character, "=".

Remarks

The subset of length elements of the inArray parameter starting at position offsetIn, are taken as a numeric value and converted to a subset of elements in the outArray parameter starting at position offsetOut. The return value indicates the number of converted elements in outArray. The subset of outArray consists of base-64 digits.

The base-64 digits in ascending order from zero are the uppercase characters "A" to "Z", the lowercase characters "a" to "z", the numerals "0" to "9", and the symbols "+" and "/". The valueless character "=" is used for trailing padding.

The offset and length parameters are 32-bit signed numbers. The offsetIn and offsetOut parameters are zero-based array positions.

Important

The ToBase64CharArray method is designed to process a single byte array that contains all the data to be encoded. To create a base-64 character array from a byte stream, use the System.Security.Cryptography.ToBase64Transform class.

If the options parameter is set to InsertLineBreaks and the output of the conversion is longer than 76 characters, a line break is inserted every 76 characters. A line break is defined as a carriage return character (U+000D) followed by a line feed character (U+000A). For more information, see RFC 2045, "Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions", at https://www.rfc-editor.org/.

Converts a subset of an 8-bit unsigned integer array to an equivalent subset of a Unicode character array encoded with base-64 digits. Parameters specify the subsets as offsets in the input and output arrays, and the number of elements in the input array to convert.

public:
 static int ToBase64CharArray(cli::array <System::Byte> ^ inArray, int offsetIn, int length, cli::array <char> ^ outArray, int offsetOut);
public static int ToBase64CharArray (byte[] inArray, int offsetIn, int length, char[] outArray, int offsetOut);

Public Shared Function ToBase64CharArray (inArray As Byte(), offsetIn As Integer, length As Integer, outArray As Char(), offsetOut As Integer) As Integer

Parameters

inArray
Byte[]

An input array of 8-bit unsigned integers.

offsetIn
Int32

A position within inArray.

length
Int32

The number of elements of inArray to convert.

outArray
Char[]

An output array of Unicode characters.

offsetOut
Int32

A position within outArray.

Returns

A 32-bit signed integer containing the number of bytes in outArray.

Exceptions

inArray or outArray is null.

offsetIn, offsetOut, or length is negative.

-or-

offsetIn plus length is greater than the length of inArray.

-or-

offsetOut plus the number of elements to return is greater than the length of outArray.
