Part Description
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 ToHex property will return a HEX representation of 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 HEX data back into the Blob, you should use the FromHex method.

You can use this method as easily as this:

Dim b As New FileBlob
b.Text = "sometext"
Debug.Print b.ToHex
