Hello!


I am toying with base64 conversion, (which I haven't used before). I wrote a
dll that handles the in/out conversion for a windows form assembly.

My question is, once a stream has been converted to base64, I loose the
information regarding its file type (extension). Which is problematic when
"recovering" a converting file (is it text, picture, or else ;-) ).

Is there a way to retrieve this information from the converted base64
string, or am I doomed to using embedded metadata for that?



Thank you all kindly for the insight,



Jeremy Moncho
