System Namespace Convert Class
Converts the value of an array of 8-bit unsigned integers to its equivalent String representation consisting of base 64 digits.

public static function ToBase64String (

) : String;
- inArray
- An array of 8-bit unsigned integers.
The String representation, in base 64, of the contents of inArray.
The elements of inArray are taken as a numeric value and converted to a String representation consisting of base 64 digits.
The base 64 digits in ascending order from zero are the uppercase characters 'A' to 'Z', lowercase characters 'a' to 'z', numerals '0' to '9', and the symbols '+' and '/'. The valueless character, '=', is used for trailing padding.
The following sample demonstrates the ToBase64String method.
