From: Jeremy Chaney Jeremy on 2 Mar 2007 18:59 I'm trying to use the BerDecoder, but even in the simple sample below, I get the exception "The "format" string contains an invalid character." Here is my sample code: byte[] integer1 = {1,2,3,4}; byte[] integer2 = {5,6,7,8}; Object[] data = { integer1, integer2 }; byte[] encodedBytes = System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.BerConverter.Encode("{oo}", data); Object[] decodedData = System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.BerConverter.Decode("{oo}", encodedBytes); What I really want to do is decode a PKCS.1 private key, but I don't know what format string to use. I've manually decoded the byte array and I can see that there are 128 byte "integers" (described with the 0x02 identifier), but on my sample above, passing a byte array with a format string of "{i}" causes the Encode function to throw an exception (whereas in the given sample Encode succeeds, but Decode throws)... All advice is welcome. Thanks, --Jeremy

Hello.... anyone out there? Should I repost this to another group? Security perhaps?
