ToBase64Transform Class
.NET Framework 4.5
Converts a CryptoStream to base 64.
Namespace: System.Security.Cryptography
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The ToBase64Transform type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | CanReuseTransform | Gets a value indicating whether the current transform can be reused. |
![]() | CanTransformMultipleBlocks | Gets a value that indicates whether multiple blocks can be transformed. |
![]() | InputBlockSize | Gets the input block size. |
![]() | OutputBlockSize | Gets the output block size. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Clear | Releases all resources used by the ToBase64Transform. |
![]() | Dispose() | Releases all resources used by the current instance of the ToBase64Transform class. |
![]() | Dispose(Boolean) | Releases the unmanaged resources used by the ToBase64Transform and optionally releases the managed resources. |
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Releases the unmanaged resources used by the ToBase64Transform. (Overrides Object.Finalize().) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | TransformBlock | Converts the specified region of the input byte array to base 64 and copies the result to the specified region of the output byte array. |
![]() | TransformFinalBlock | Converts the specified region of the specified byte array to base 64. |
The following code example demonstrates how to use members of the ToBase64Transform class.
using System; using System.IO; using System.Security.Cryptography; class Members { [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) { string appPath = (System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "\\"); // Insert your file names into this method call. EncodeFromFile(appPath + "members.cs", appPath + "members.enc"); Console.WriteLine("This sample completed successfully; " + "press Enter to exit."); Console.ReadLine(); } // Read in the specified source file and write out an encoded target file. private static void EncodeFromFile(string sourceFile, string targetFile) { // Verify members.cs exists at the specified directory. if (!File.Exists(sourceFile)) { Console.Write("Unable to locate source file located at "); Console.WriteLine(sourceFile + "."); Console.Write("Please correct the path and run the "); Console.WriteLine("sample again."); return; } // Retrieve the input and output file streams. FileStream inputFileStream = new FileStream(sourceFile, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read); FileStream outputFileStream = new FileStream(targetFile, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write); // Create a new ToBase64Transform object to convert to base 64. ToBase64Transform base64Transform = new ToBase64Transform(); // Create a new byte array with the size of the output block size. byte[] outputBytes = new byte[base64Transform.OutputBlockSize]; // Retrieve the file contents into a byte array. byte[] inputBytes = new byte[inputFileStream.Length]; inputFileStream.Read(inputBytes, 0, inputBytes.Length); // Verify that multiple blocks can not be transformed. if (!base64Transform.CanTransformMultipleBlocks) { // Initializie the offset size. int inputOffset = 0; // Iterate through inputBytes transforming by blockSize. int inputBlockSize = base64Transform.InputBlockSize; while(inputBytes.Length - inputOffset > inputBlockSize) { base64Transform.TransformBlock( inputBytes, inputOffset, inputBytes.Length - inputOffset, outputBytes, 0); inputOffset += base64Transform.InputBlockSize; outputFileStream.Write( outputBytes, 0, base64Transform.OutputBlockSize); } // Transform the final block of data. outputBytes = base64Transform.TransformFinalBlock( inputBytes, inputOffset, inputBytes.Length - inputOffset); outputFileStream.Write(outputBytes, 0, outputBytes.Length); Console.WriteLine("Created encoded file at " + targetFile); } // Determine if the current transform can be reused. if (! base64Transform.CanReuseTransform) { // Free up any used resources. base64Transform.Clear(); } // Close file streams. inputFileStream.Close(); outputFileStream.Close(); } } // // This sample produces the following output: // // Created encoded file at C:\ConsoleApplication1\\membersvcs.enc // This sample completed successfully; press Enter to exit.
