Any pointers on how to (1) read a Base64 encoded string from a text file
and (2) write it to a binary file?
I have a ton of files that are being generated from a legacy system. Each
file contains a (1) content type one one line, a (2) filename, and (3) the
encoding type (seems to always be Base64, followed by the encoded string.
A process will be to read the content type and filename, then create a new
binary file and write out the converted base64 string.
Ideas?

Hello James,
Thanks... I guess I should have been more specific. I have that part, converting
the string to a byte array. But for images, I've noticed that there's a
header at the start of the file (appears to be just plain text, but not sure)...
for example a gif has GIF[version] at the start of the file.
I've tried writing out "GIF89a" at the start and then the byte array, but
that didn't work. Then I tried writing the GIF89a to a separate byte array,
write that out and then write the data stream byte array... but that didn't
work. I've seen some examples in this NNTP about using the BinaryWriter,
and comments by Jon Skeet how that's not necessary, but having a hard time
finding a single example of how to write this out on your own.
I'm not only interested in writing out GIF's, but also BMPs, JPEG, PNGs,
ZIPs, DOCs, XLSs, etc...
Ideas?

Create a MemoryStream from the byte[]. Use the FromStream() and Save()
methods of System.Drawing. Image.

What exactly are you starting with? If the Base64 is a binary image of
the file you want write, why are you bothering with conversions at all.
Just write out the bits, and give it the appropriate extension.

Hi,
I'm programatically posting an image using multipart/form-data. It sends to the server OK, but when I try to view it in the browser, it is still in the base64 string I sent it as: /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wBDAAUDBAQEAwUEBAQFBQUG etc....
I've been through the form I built over and over:
string PostData = "";
PostData += "-----------------------------7d41fb3081216";
PostData += "\r";
PostData += "\n";

Is there any way I can change the content type when I open a new window
other than opening a script in the open statement?
mywin =
window.open('','rpt','width=600,height=425,top=50,left=0,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=yes,resizable=yes,dependent=no');
mywin.document.write("Content-type:image/svg+xml");
In this example I would be changing the content type to svg.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
