  1. POSerializing a bitmap image to a base64?
    text
    copied!<p>I've been playing around with the resco API for windows mobile 6: <a href="http://www.resco.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.resco.net/</a> and one thing they do is serialize bitmap images and base64 encode them in the .resx file, for example like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;data name="buttonCell2.ImagePressed" type="System.Drawing.Bitmap, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64"&gt; &lt;value&gt; iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAEMAAAAaCAMAAADblRF+AAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAARnQU1BAACxjwv8 YQUAAAAgY0hSTQAAeiYAAICEAAD6AAAAgOgAAHUwAADqYAAAOpgAABdwnLpRPAAAAYZQTFRFtgAA//// wAAAygAA2wAA2AAA0gAAuQAAvQAAsQAAwwAAzgAAxgAA1QAA3wAA4gAAswAArgAA5QAA5wAArAAA6gAA nQAA2QAAgAAA/wD/5AAApwAAxwAAugAA4AAAoQAAlQAAqgAAqAAAmgAAwgAAsAAAzQAA6AAA1wAA3gAA dQAAfAAAogAAvgAAsgAA/fTprQAAzwAAqwAAfwAAzAAAxAAAkQAAxQAAtAAAtQAA9M6Rz4SEsSoq+PDw agAAggAApAAAtDAw//36ZgAAewAAyX5+67uCbgAAdAAAyQkJjAAA+uO8qQYGoRsXtCwqeAAAYwAA1pld fCQWZQcEkwAA2qlqtWU/dRgP/fXmnCcnqGU/+d24mwAApQAAqicnjgAA/Pn5/fTneCQVigAA4qtxhx0b bAAA/fLkgCYY//38rB4edAcEp2E6owAAjx8UlwAA/ffucgAAcwAA0X94dgAAuXp2cAAAhQAAZQAAngAA aAAAnwAAxzAwgiQejQAA6s/PrGpDfx8Ulyx+wgAAASBJREFUOE+l1dVWw1AUBNBzkhYIUigUuUnapO7u WHF3d3d31z8nXYsvuGe/zzzOAGNs7fchnG7jkL5aMuIM2OJyWFck4CIpkwfljrlSj5AMtHIJJIWpdgY/ 05G8SfY3c/HLpvw9g5Ntu1lu4iabP8bh/F21yI3cZMfoCowoGUc9gSPTByGnL2ghCPoQQopoIhER7jZV M4mKcHuZrSPJIjxpngoSD8Lwa7SGJIpw5LaLJHaE7muoJQGEN71QTVJA6F+QBBIJ4SVnrSKxIsx8OStJ nAjz+0qRa8P+Q8UJhL1nLdZAEOs9hYsBd8IrcfMmOo6BfY5FbFZuts4dY5NnD3OaK2XjknKdfe8aHWzo cVXfaOGyNdh1U/4Gw3ocOcXL8T+dxW1D92ffagAAAABJRU5ErkJggg== &lt;/value&gt; &lt;/data&gt; </code></pre> <p>And it gets loaded up like so:</p> <pre><code>this.buttonCell1.ImagePressed = ((System.Drawing.Image)(resources.GetObject("buttonCell1.ImagePressed"))); </code></pre> <p>When I base 64 decode the value I get a .bin which I can load in paint and it looks like the button image.</p> <p>My quesiton is: how do I serialize a bitmap image (or any image really) into text and then base64 encode it so I can add it to the resx file in a Windows Mobile project.</p>
