Chilkat.Crypt2 crypt = new Chilkat.Crypt2();

//  Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.
bool success;
success = crypt.UnlockComponent("30-day trial");
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show(crypt.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

string s1;
string s2;

s1 = "This is a test / = abc 123";

//  The ReEncode method converts a string from one encoding
//  to another.
//  Valid encodings are "url", "base64", "qp", "hex", and "ansi"
//  Use "ansi" for an unencoded ANSI string.

//  Encode to URL-encoding:
s2 = crypt.ReEncode(s1,"ansi","url");
textBox1.Text += s2 + "\r\n";

//  Convert from URL-encoding to base64:
string b64;
b64 = crypt.ReEncode(s2,"url","base64");
textBox1.Text += b64 + "\r\n";

//  Convert from base64 to hex:
string hex;
hex = crypt.ReEncode(b64,"base64","hex");
textBox1.Text += hex + "\r\n";
