.NET Framework? What .NET Framework?

I was rewriting an application when I came across the following snippit:
System.Text.UTF8Encoding encoder8 = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding(); System.Text.Decoder utf8Decode = encoder8.GetDecoder(); byte[] todecode_byte8 = Convert.FromBase64String(_body); int charCount8 = utf8Decode.GetCharCount(todecode_byte8, 0, todecode_byte8.Length); char[] decoded_char8 = new char[charCount8]; utf8Decode.GetChars(todecode_byte8, 0, todecode_byte8.Length, decoded_char8, 0); _body = new String(decoded_char8);Obviously, the culprit ".NET" programmer responsible kinda missed the alternative solution:_body = Encoding.UTF8.GetString( Convert.FromBase64String( _body ) );And I wish this was the only occurrence of this.. -

(IIRC I had to serialize to/from base64, and it was driving me crazy)

Linkify!|Fold With Us!Oh I couldn't agree more on the level of documentation on this (or the lack thereof). If I were writing this, a little voice in the back of my head would go 'Come on man, there's an easier way to do this, right?'. And I've taught myself to listen to that voice ;) That, and using the Convert class A LOT :p

I've got that voice a lot lately... but obviously, it only tells YOU about the solution :cool:
