How to convert Binary into Text String with Base 64 Encoding in C# .NET Framework

Base 64 encoding is an important groundwork step required for many different tasks. This can be a bit tricky to set up, which can eat up your whole afternoon if you don’t have a good solution in mind. To take the guesswork out, I am going to be showing you how to get this done using an API, letting you finish up in but a few minutes.

First we need our package, so let’s install that with NuGet:

Install-Package Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert -Version 3.2.8

Now we can proceed with our function call, which you can model after this example code:

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Api;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Client;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Model;
namespace Example
{
public class EditTextBase64EncodeExample
{
public void main()
{
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
Configuration.Default.AddApiKey("Apikey", "YOUR_API_KEY");
// Uncomment below to setup prefix (e.g. Bearer) for API key, if needed
// Configuration.Default.AddApiKeyPrefix("Apikey", "Bearer");
var apiInstance = new EditTextApi();
var request = new Base64EncodeRequest(); // Base64EncodeRequest | Input request
try
{
// Base 64 encode, convert binary or file data to a text string
Base64EncodeResponse result = apiInstance.EditTextBase64Encode(request);
Debug.WriteLine(result);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Debug.Print("Exception when calling EditTextApi.EditTextBase64Encode: " + e.Message );
}
}
}
}

Finished.
