  How to determine the string is in base64 format

  Nov 27, 2012 11:25 AM|LINK

  Hi,

  I'm encrypted the textbox value to base64 format and saving it to a table.

  How to check the column value is encrypted or not?

  Thanks & regards,

  Anand

  Are you just converting a TextBox value to Base64? If so, then I'd not call it "encrypted"

  To check if a string is a valid Base64 you can use this:

  try
  {
      byte[] tmp = Convert.FromBase64String(s);
      return true;
  }
  catch
  {
      // It's not a base64 encoded string
      return false;
  }
