Encode and Decode in c# asp.net?

Question

i am using Encoding and decoding :

For Encoding:

private string EncodeServerName(string ServerName)
    {
      byte[] NameEncodein = new byte[ServerName         


        

Answer 1

the same code works for me, which you written in DecoAndGetServerName().

the thing is, you need to pass ENCODED STRING to your DecoAndGetServerName() function,

which might be encoded like :

string Servername=Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("serverName"));

That's why you got that Error The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character,....

Answer 2

Your code seems way too complex :-), here is one that works:

public static string EncodeServerName(string serverName)
{
    return Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(serverName));
}

public static string DecodeServerName(string encodedServername)
{
    return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String(encodedServername));
}
