Quick Start: Exporting form data using the web service API

/*

 * Ensure that you create a .NET client assembly that uses

 * base64 encoding. This is required to populate a BLOB

 * object with data or retrieve data from a BLOB object.

 * For information, see "Invoking LiveCycle ES using Base64 Encoding"

 * in Programming with LiveCycle ES
