Posted on by Ral_phs 125

Hi,

I'm looking for ANSI to Base 64 converter, i'm working on implementing fingerprint POS Login with navision 5.1

my problem is with the Biometric Data- BIR that is in ANSI code and can't store it inside a dynamics table for later matching.

can you please guide me for any solution.

    Hi,

    Thank you, but it's note quite what i wanted.
    The BIR data is in ANSI and in navision it can only be assigned to data type TEXT, i need a way to transform ANSI to something readable.
    I tried the ANSI to ASCII codeunit but this will lead to one character result that i can't use it for fingerprint matching.
    The SDK of the fingerprint is storing the BIR in a template string but still not readable to.

    Hello Ral,

    The times I have worked with Base64, after conversion I have stored it on a Blob and/or worked with it as bigtext.

    If you need to convert it to base64 check out the dotnet automation:

    Convert Dotnet System.Convert.'mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'

    I happen to have a blog post available with an example using it where you can see how to receive an image coded in base64 and "translating" it back to blob. I'd say you need something like that, but backwards. You can check it out if you want (it's in spanish but the code is international :-)): http://msnav.es/como-guardar-un-archivo-recibido-por-webservice/
