Member Function Documentation

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

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

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.

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.
