Stream based base64 encoding/decoding

[nickdu]

Is there a stream based approach to base64 encoding/decoding? The Convert
class only supports strings and arrays.

Hi Nick,

As for Base64 encoding/decoding, so far .NET framework only provide the two
methods of the Convert class. However, if you need to stream based
implementation, you can use reflector to inspect the implemenation of
Convert class and adopt the built-in class's code logic.

Sincerely,

You can write a stream class that chops up the stream into four
character blocks or three byte blocks, which you can convert using the
methods in the Convert class.
