I am trying to convert the image to base64 format using Invoke code activity. But i couldn’t do it
My code is
Static void Main(String args)
{
byte imageArray = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(@“C:\Users\DELL\Downloads\captcha (1).png”);
String base64ImageRepresentation = Convert.ToBase64String(imageArray);
}
Please help me to resolve this issue.

Why do you want to use Invoke Code Activity.
You can do with Simple Assign Activities.

create a variable imageArray (datatype: byte) and base64ImageRepresentation (datatype: String)

Assign Activity, imageArray = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(PATH_OF_IMAGE)
Assing Activity, base64ImageRepresentation = Convert.ToBase64String(imageArray)

If you get error - please add missing namespaces.

No function or procedure can be used inside invoke code activity. Just leave two line body of your main method.

Hi, what is the exact data type for imageArray ? i can’t find the byte datatype.

Or can you do a sample workflow for converting of image into binary? i need to save the binary or the blob in SQL. Thanks everyone.
