XmlTextWriter.WriteBase64(Byte[], Int32, Int32) Method

public:
 override void WriteBase64(cli::array <System::Byte> ^ buffer, int index, int count);

public override void WriteBase64 (byte[] buffer, int index, int count);

override this.WriteBase64 : byte[] * int * int -> unit

Public Overrides Sub WriteBase64 (buffer As Byte(), index As Integer, count As Integer)

Parameters

Exceptions

Examples

The following example encodes an input file using WriteBase64 and generates a temporary XML file. The temporary XML file is decoded using the ReadBase64 method and compared to the original file.
