Base64 encoded string to file (c#)

Question

I have a base64 encoded string stored in xml, I've already got a handle on the string, how can I write this base64 encoded string to a file, so that the file is completely usable on the file system?

Answer 1

Try this:

File.WriteAllBytes(@"c:\yourfile", Convert.FromBase64String(yourBase64String));

As a first pointer, check out MSDN's documentation on the XmlTextreader's ReadBase64 Method... http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmltextreader.readbase64.aspx
