(VB.NET UWP/WinRT) Insert PDF as Base64 into XML, then Extract back to PDF File

Demonstrates how to insert any file into XML using base64 encoding, and then extract back to the original file. This example embeds a PDF in the XML, but the type of file does not matter. It can be any type of file.

' Load our PDF file.
Dim bd As New Chilkat.BinData
Dim success As Boolean = bd.LoadFile("qa_data/helloWorld.pdf")
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine("Failed to load PDF file.")
    Exit Sub
End If


' Load the following XML:
' 
' <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
' <something>
'     <xyz>
'         <abc123>A base64 encoded PDF file will be inserted under this node.</abc123>
'     </xyz>
' </something>

Dim xml As New Chilkat.Xml
success = xml.LoadXmlFile("qa_data/xml/xmlToContainPdf.xml")
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine("Failed to load XML file.")
    Exit Sub
End If



' Insert the PDF into the XML.
xml.NewChild2("xyz|pdfData",bd.GetEncoded("base64"))

' Show the new XML:
Debug.WriteLine(xml.GetXml())

' The XML now looks like this:
' <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
' <something>
'     <xyz>
'         <abc123>A base64 encoded PDF file will be inserted under this node.</abc123>
'         <pdfData>JVBERi0xL ... UlRU9GCg==</pdfData>
'     </xyz>
' </something>


' To extract the PDF data out and restore the PDF file:
Dim bd2 As New Chilkat.BinData
success = bd2.AppendEncoded(xml.GetChildContent("xyz|pdfData"),"base64")
success = bd2.WriteFile("qa_output/helloWorld.pdf")

Debug.WriteLine("Success.")
