Base 64 Encode

I'm currently writing a mashup between my company's service and salesforce and I need to encode the data which I am sending to our service in base64, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this in Apex.  Can someone please point me in the correct direction.

 

Thanks

Actual solution to my issue is this:

 

String myBase64String = EncodingUtil.base64Encode(Blob.valueof(myString));

 

thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

There is plenty on this in the Apex Code documentation. Have a look in there before starting a new thread, good luck.

Thank you Simon, this is what I was attempting to do, but I didn't find the actual doc page for the EncodingUtils.... Problem I was having was that I was attempting to send a String to the function, and it takes a blob....  Now I need to figure out how to convert my string data into a blob....
