You can use this component to create client programs (with Visual Basic, for example) or server-based applications (with Active Server Pages).

Data can be encoded by first setting the InputString property with the data to be encoded and then calling the B64encode method. To encode the contents of a file, call the FileLoad method before calling B64encode. The encoded data can be read from the OutputString property, or saved directly to a file using the FileSave method.

To decode Base64 data, first set the InputString property with the encoded data and then call the B64decode method. To decode the contents of a Base64-encoded file, call the FileLoad method before calling B64decode. The decoded data can be read from the OutputString property, or saved directly to a file using the FileSave method.

When using a licensed component, you should first call the ProductLicense method in order to unlock full functionality. See the Technical Reference for more information.
