String to Base64

Hi,

I need to convert an ASCII string to Base64 encoding in VB .NET. All of the references I have found show how to convert a binary data stream to Base64, but I only need to convert a text string. What is the simplest way to do this?

Hi,

It is always advisable to convert to binary first before performing encoding or encrypting operations. You can convert the string to binary and then encode to Base64.

Hope this helps,

Vivek
