Hi, How can i convert outStream object to Text in Business Central Wave 2 ?
previously i was doing this;

tempBlob.Init();
TempBlob.Blob.CreateOutStream(Ostream);
Xmlport.Export(70112320, Ostream, glAccount);
StreamText := tempblob.ToBase64String();
exit(StreamText);

how can I achieve this in wave 2 ?

Use codeunit "Base64 Convert" to convert to base64.

Ex : ReturnValue := Base64Convert.ToBase64(stream);

Hi,

function ToBase64String moved to 4110 "Base64 Convert" codeunit and it has following overloading methods.

ToBase64(String: Text): Text

ToBase64(String: Text; InsertLineBreaks: Boolean): Text

ToBase64(InStream: InStream): Text

ToBase64(InStream: InStream; InsertLineBreaks: Boolean): Text

Create variable for the Codeunit and pass stream as argument into ToBase64String function

for more business central breaking changes follow below link and see Base64 Convert Module

https://github.com/microsoft/ALAppExtensions/blob/master/BREAKINGCHANGES.md#base64-convert-module

Note : make sure you are using right symbols. get latest docker container of Business Central Release Wave 2 and download symbols again with BaseApp and SystemApp Dependencies

thanks Vigneswaran, Is there any way to pass OutStream object to ToBase64 method, it accepts InStream but not OutStream object?

Just create instream from your tempblob and pass it to Base64 Convert codeunit.

TempBlob.CreateInStream(InStream);
