Try the C# library available here which adds some extension methods to allow you to convert a byte array to and from BASE62.

• https://github.com/renmengye/base62-csharp

If your source data is contained in a "string" then you would first need to convert your "string" to a suitable byte array.

But be careful, to use the correct string to byte conversion call....as you may want the bytes to be the ASCII characters, or the Unicode byte stream etc i.e. Encoding.GetBytes(text) or System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(text);, etc

byte[] bytestoencode = ..... 

string encodedasBASE62 = bytestoencode.ToBase62();

.....

byte[] bytesdecoded = encodedasBASE62.FromBase62();
