How do I display images from an XML doc that are in this format>>

dotnet xml: The xml doc has pictures but in the format of a very long character string.
I'm not sure what this format is called so I do not know what type of
converter I should be looking for. May have something to do with base64. I
want to read it from the xml doc and display it in a windows form pictureBox.
I'm programming in c#.

example(it actually has a lot more characters than this)

the fact that it's in XML is not really relevant to your problem.

you need to speak to the person who made the XML file (or read the
specification of the program that created it) and find out what format the
picture is

I'd guess you're right that it is base-64 encoded, but once you decode it
you will just have a block of binary data, and you need to know what picture
format this uses before you can do anything sensible with it
