Xceed Encoding for ActiveX offers developers a powerful COM component to encode and decode binary data into text formats and vice versa. Ideal for handling memory buffers, files, and streaming data, it supports several popular encoding formats and is built for seamless integration within Windows development environments.
Comprehensive Encoding Algorithms
Supports widely used encoding schemes such as UUEncode, XXEncode, Base64, BinHex, Quoted-Printable, and plain hexadecimal to ensure compatibility with various data handling requirements.
Flexible Data Handling
Encodes and decodes data from memory buffers, files, or streams, enabling efficient processing of both static files and continuous data flows with full streaming support for all modes.
ActiveX/COM Architecture
Delivered as a fully self-contained COM object and ActiveX control written with ATL 3.0, eliminating the need for external DLLs or runtime dependencies, simplifying deployment.
Multi-threading and Instantiation
Designed to support both single-threaded (STA) and multi-threaded apartment (MTA) models, it allows multiple instances running simultaneously and dynamic instantiation without requiring a form.
Native Unicode API Utilization
Automatically switches to native Unicode API calls on supported Windows versions including NT, 2000, and XP, optimizing performance and compatibility in modern environments.
Development Environment Compatibility
Compatible with all 32-bit development environments supporting ActiveX controls, including Visual Basic, Visual C++, Delphi, C++ Builder, Visual FoxPro, Office applications, ASP, and DCOM projects.
