How to decode a Base 64 String into Binary Content in C# .NET Framework

Base 64 strings are an important element to be able to parse, but this task can be a challenge in C#, requiring many hours to solve manually. What you need is a simple means of creating binary content from input strings. That is exactly what I have here for you today, and it will be ready to go in just a few minutes time.

Our package installation comes first, so let’s use NuGet for that using the console:

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

Now we can go ahead and call our function, as so:

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 EditTextBase64DecodeExample
{
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 Base64DecodeRequest(); // Base64DecodeRequest | Input request
try
{
// Base 64 decode, convert base 64 string to binary content
Base64DecodeResponse result = apiInstance.EditTextBase64Decode(request);
Debug.WriteLine(result);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Debug.Print("Exception when calling EditTextApi.EditTextBase64Decode: " + e.Message );
}
}
}
}

And you are officially done! Talk about easy.
