Solve : Password Encoder+Decoder?

Answer»

I'm making a Register Program and I was wondering if anyone had code to Encode and to Decode a String.

Thanks.Are you talking about encryption? Encoding would ESSENTIALLY be putting something into programming language. Please be more specific. Quote from: Raven19528 on December 16, 2011, 11:04:51 AM

Are you talking about encryption? Encoding would essentially be putting something into programming language. Please be more specific.

Encoding and Encryption are both routines that work with data. Has nothing to do with a programming language in either case. Encryptions purpose is to disguise the data so that it cannot be read by anyone but the intended recipient. Encoding is used merely to work with a data in a more suitable FORMAT, or for space or other concerns. For example, most compression algorithms are encoding/decoding algorithms.
in the case of a zip or other compressed file that is ENCRYPTED, you've got both.

That said, they do probably mean encryption. And if you don't know how to do something like this, I THINK it is time to reassess whether you really ought to spend time adding a pointless "feature" like this to a application when you could be working on new features and/or functionality of the application.
