How to encode and decode Base64 string using C#

Hi,

While saving password i am encrypting it using the following method:

  public string base64Encode(string sData) { try { byte[] encData_byte = new byte[sData.Length]; encData_byte = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(sData); string encodedData = Convert.ToBase64String(encData_byte); return encodedData; } catch (Exception ex) { throw new Exception("Error in base64Encode" + ex.Message); } }
