decode base64 string

[Guoqi Zheng]

Hi,

Any one has a code example of how to decode base64 string?


I used below function but it does not work correctly, especially when I need
to decode some Characters like Chinese,

Can some one give an example or point out what I did wrong here? Thanks.


Public Function DecodeBase64(ByVal strInput As String) As String

Dim ReturnByte As Byte()

ReturnByte = System.Convert.FromBase64String(strInput)

Dim ReturnString As String

ReturnString = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(ReturnByte)

Return ReturnString

End Function

UTF8 might not work for high bit character sets like Chines. You'll want to
use Unicode encoding or the specific code page for the language in question.
