VB.NET Base64 Encode/Decode [SRC]

[Fragma]

Heres how to encode and decode with Base64 in only two lines of code..

Under "Encode" button

Code:

TextBox1.Text = Convert.ToBase64String(New System.Text.ASCIIEncoding().GetBytes(TextBox1.Text))

Under "Decode" button

Code:

TextBox1.Text = New System.Text.ASCIIEncoding().GetString(Convert.FromBase64String(TextBox1.Text))

Thought this may come in handy for some..

This is ideal for encoding simple strings that you don't want prying eyes to catch right away. However, always keep in mind that an experienced programmer/someone with malicious intent could easily decode base64, as it's not based around any sort of encryption key.

If you were interested in looking into more advanced forms of encryption, may I suggest AES-256 (Rijndael)?

I can see this being used in a few applications.
