' This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Dim crypt As New Chilkat.Crypt2

' Here are some bytes as a hex string
Dim hex As String = "4142434445462140232425"

' The ReEncode method converts a string from one encoding to another.
' Valid encodings are "url", "base64", "qp", "hex", "modbase64", "base64url", "base32", "base58",
' and any of the encodings listed here:  http://cknotes.com/chilkat-binary-encoding-list

' Convert from hex to base64
Dim b64 As String = crypt.ReEncode(hex,"hex","base64")
Debug.WriteLine("base64: " & b64)

' Convert from base64 to base32
Dim b32 As String = crypt.ReEncode(b64,"base64","base32")
Debug.WriteLine("base32: " & b32)

' Convert from base32 back to hex
hex = crypt.ReEncode(b32,"base32","hex")
Debug.WriteLine("hex: " & hex)
