Question

This is my code:

byte[] base64String = //this is being set properly
var base64CharArray = new char[base64String.Length];
Convert.ToBase64CharArray(base64String,
                          0,
                          base64String.Length,
                          base64CharArray,
                          0);
var Base64String = new string(base64CharArray);

When i run this, I get the following error when calling Convert.ToBase64CharArray:

Either offset did not refer to a position in the string, or there is an insufficient length of destination character array. Parameter name: offsetOut

How do i fix this, so i can convert my byte array to a string, or is there a better way to convert a byte array to a string?

Answer 1

Why do you need the char array? Just convert your byte[] directly to a Base64 string:

string base64String = Convert.ToBase64String(myByteArray);
