If I use this then it returns diamonds in the result. Where as this works: Convert.ToBase64String - why is that?

This is mostly used by inmemory blobs. | |

I had to use Encoding.ASCII.GetString instead of Encoding.Unicode.GetString in my case to get it to work.

@xanatos, @alex technically var in JavaScript is not a type like you're saying. var in JavaScript is a keyword meaning I'm wanting to declare a variable here which type is inferred later.

@Alex This is C#, not Javascript. var isn't a type. It's an abbreviation for "the type of the right-hand expression" (so string) (see for example stackoverflow.com/questions/41479/use-of-var-keyword-in-c-sharp )

@xanatos why do you use var type?
