Receive Bytes as Encoded Text from a Socket

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveBytesENC, which receives one delivery of binary data and returns it encoded as text using a named encoding.

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim socket As New Chilkat.Socket

'  Connect to the server using TLS.
Dim bTls As Boolean = True
Dim maxWaitMs As Integer = 5000
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


'  Receive one delivery of binary data and return it encoded as text using the named encoding.  This
'  is convenient for logging or transporting binary data as printable text.
Dim encoded As String = socket.ReceiveBytesENC("base64")
If (socket.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.WriteLine(encoded)
