Hi,

Can anyone provide info on the best way to base64 a specific element in an
outbound message?  I need to read in the contents of a file, base64 encode i
t
and place it inside a message that I will be constructing in an
orchestration.  The entire message is not encoded, just this one element.
Should I write a custom C# component to do this or does BizTalk offer a
better alternative?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Michael

Sure, if you have the contents of the file in a string (and the element in
the destination available as a distinguished field), you can do something
like the following.
(Choose your encoding.)

myMsg.Mybase64Field = System.Convert.ToBase64String(
System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(myString));
