| object | An expression evaluating to an object of type FileBlob |
Remarks
WARNING: you should not use this method with large files, or large amounts of data!
The ToBase64 property will return a BASE64 representation of the data currently contained by the Blob. It is most often used because it is easier to represent binary data this way for transfer by text-only services, such as email.
To get such BASE64 data back into the Blob, you should use the
FromBase64 method.

Dim b As New FileBlob
b.Text = "sometext"
