Hello XCeed experts,
I compress a string (called compressedDossier) like so (VB.NET):
Dim compressedDossier As String = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString( _
Xceed.Compression.Formats.XceedCompressedStreamEx.Compress( _
System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(dossier)))
Not important for this issue, but I persist this string to the Database. Later I retrieve this string from the database and I want to decompress it like this (VB.NET):
Dim decompressedDossier As String = String.Empty
Try
'Het dossier is niet gezipped dus we kunnen het dossier simpelweg decomprimeren.
decompressedDossier = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString( _
Xceed.Compression.Formats.XceedCompressedStreamEx.Decompress( _
System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(dossier.Content)))
Catch ex As Exception
GeneralServices.WriteToLog("PatientDossierRetriever.GetDossier: " & ex.Message)
End Try
As you can see I write my error message away to logfile, again not important for this problem. But the message of the exception (ex.message) is:
" Password was not provided for encrypted data."
As you can see in above example I do not provide a password. So why all of a sudden does it need one now? I've already tried to provide passwords at the compress as also the decompress (made a password like: "Hello"). But then it gives me the error that not the correct password was provided (which is strange because I absolutely used "Hello" as password).
Can anyone help me with this strange problem?
