Hey,

I’m using Xceed Binary Encoding Library 1.1, to encode a Macintosh file to HQX format before sharing it through Email. I have a MAC file which has got the DataFork and resource fork as different streams in the same file(AppleShare File).  I am able to encode the file, retaining the datafork and resouce fork. But still the type and creator is lost. I found few properties to be set before calling the Processfile method for encoding. The properties are

Here is an example on how to do this. 

      XceedBinaryEncodingLib.XceedBinHexEncodingFormatClass format = new XceedBinaryEncodingLib.XceedBinHexEncodingFormatClass();

      // The assignment below is by ref, but the content of "creator" and "type" will not be modified and
      // we will take the first 4 byte and copy it in another byte array.
      object creator = new byte[] { 1, 0, 0, 0 };
      object type = new byte[] { 1, 0, 0, 0 };
      format.set_HeaderCreator( ref creator );
      format.set_HeaderType( ref type );
      format.HeaderFlags = 1;

      axXceedBinaryEncoding1.EncodingFormat = format;

      // For some none official information on Creator, Type :
      // http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creator_code
      // http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_code

Use the get_ methods to get the value back.

 e.g.:

object headerObject = encodingFormat.get_HeaderCreator();

byte[] headerCreator = ( byte[] ) headerObject;
