Base 64!!!

[kenny_oh]

anyone can explain what is Base 64? use for what?

[Hack]

Here is a dictionary definition.

Heres an example: If you want to save a picture inside an XmlDocument, you read the binary Data from the file. Since this binary Data might contain characters that are not allowed in xml you base64 Encode that binary data. Now you can store your base64 encoded binarydata safely inside your xml Document.

Thats just one of many possible Scenarios!

Hope that clears it up!

BTW: If you want fantastic c# code on how to base64 encode and decode a string look in my sig!
