    RepresentationType property

    Description

    This property allows you to specify the representation type of the data to send or receive (ASCII or binary).

    When sending a file in ASCII representation, the library will translate the text to the 8-bit NVT-ASCII representation. When receiving a file in ASCII representation, the library will presume the format is 8-bit NVT-ASCII, and do the necessary conversion to have a standard Windows ANSI text file.

    When sending and receiving in binary format, the data is sent and received "as is", without any conversion or padding.
