Dim crypt2 As New Chilkat.Crypt2

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' The DecodeString method is deprecated:

' The string "Hello World" in base64 (using the utf-8 byte representation) is "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ="

Dim encodedStr As String = "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ="
Dim encoding As String = "base64"
Dim charset As String = "utf-8"

Dim str As String = crypt2.DecodeString(encodedStr,charset,encoding)
Debug.WriteLine(str)

' Output is "Hello World"

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Do the equivalent using StringBuilder.Decode.

Dim sb As New Chilkat.StringBuilder

sb.Append(encodedStr)
sb.Decode(encoding,charset)
Debug.WriteLine(sb.GetAsString())

' Output is "Hello World"
