Member Function Documentation

ParseString() [1/2]

static byte [] ParseString ( System.String  data, IntHolder  numbits  )

static

This static method parses the given ASN.1 value text (either a binary or hex data string) and returns the value in a binary byte array. The number of bits is also returned.

Examples of valid value formats are as follows:

Binary string: '11010010111001'B

Hex string: '0fa56920014abc'H

Char string: 'abcdefg'

Parameters

data	The ASN.1 value specification text
numbits	Holder to receive number of bits in string

Returns

byte array value

ParseString() [2/2]

static byte [] ParseString ( System.String  data )

static

This overloaded version of the ParseString method sets the numbits holder value to null.

Parameters

data	The ASN.1 value specification text

Returns

byte array value

StringEqualsBytes() [1/2]

static bool StringEqualsBytes ( String  value, byte []  data  )

static

This static method parses the given ASN.1 value text (either a binary or hex data string) and compares it with the given byte array. Examples of valid value formats are as follows: Binary string: '11010010111001'B Hex string: '0fa56920014abc'H Char string: 'abcdefg'

Parameters

value	The ASN.1 value specification text
data	Array of bytes to compare string with.

Referenced by Asn1OctetString.Equals(), and Asn1BitString.Equals().

StringEqualsBytes() [2/2]

static bool StringEqualsBytes ( String  value, byte []  data, int  nbits  )

static

This static method parses the given ASN.1 value text (either a binary or hex data string) and compares it with the given byte array. This version of the method allows you to specify a number of bits to compare, which is useful when dealing with bit strings, as opposed to octet strings.

Examples of valid value formats are as follows: Binary string: '11010010111001'B Hex string: '0fa56920014abc'H Char string: 'abcdefg' /p>

Parameters

value	The ASN.1 value specification text
data	Array of bytes to compare string with.
nbits	Number of bits in data to compare.
