The Issue

I am using A TOTP Library That Returns URI Data For The Scannable QR Code And I Need Help To Get The Code Either To Display In Web Browser Object In Windows Forms Or As An Image.

This Is The Data That I Get: The Gist Containing The Data

The Expected Outcome

Either The QR Code Displayed In A C# .Net Framework Windows Forms WebBrowser Component Or The QR Code As A BMP Or PNG File

What I Have Tried

I Have Tried To Download The QR By Using WebClient And WebClient.openRead(URI);

To Which I Got The Following Error: The Error

I Have Also Tried To Use The WebBrowser Component By Passing In The URI And Then Refreshing, Show.

To Which There Was No Display, Or It Failed To Webpage

I am At A Loss Here As I Have Googled For An Answer But Returned Blank

The Following Is For Converting To Image File Only And Not Displaying In WebBrowser. This Has Been Tested And Is Working Correctly.

Inside The First Gist Link Is A Data Scheme URL/URI All You Need To Do Is The Following.

  1. Convert The URL/URI Into A String.
  2. Split The String With The Char Delimiter Of ','.
  3. Retrieve The String At Index 1 and not 0.
  4. Convert The String Using Convert.fromBase64String Passing In The String Containing The String At Index 1
  5. Create A Temporary With The .png Extension.
  6. Write The Byte Array Into The File.

And That Will Save The Image Into A File For Easy Retrieval Using Image.FromFile.

 Uri Data = new Uri(Setup.QrCodeImage); //This Is Located From A TOPT Generator
 string[] Objects = Data.ToString().Split(',');
 string Base64String = Objects[1];
 byte[] ImageD = Convert.FromBase64String(Base64String);
 string P = Path.GetTempFileName() + ".png";
 File.WriteAllBytes(P, ImageD);
 Image image = Image.FromFile(P);

If You Found This Helpful I'm Glad.
