# Utility Methods – PubNub C# SDK (Misc) The following summarizes the miscellaneous utility APIs. All code blocks, method signatures, parameters, and critical notes are preserved. --- ## Request execution Use `try / catch`. SDK throws exceptions for invalid input; network/server errors are returned in `status`. ``` `try { PNResultPNPublishResult> publishResponse = await pubnub.Publish() .Message("Why do Java developers wear glasses? Because they can't C#.") .Channel("my_channel") .ExecuteAsync(); PNStatus status = publishResponse.Status; Console.WriteLine("Server status code : " + status.StatusCode.ToString()); } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine($"Request can't be executed due to error: {ex.Message}"); } ` ``` --- ## destroy() Free resources and exit cleanly. ``` `destroy() ` ``` Returns: none. ``` ` ` ``` --- ## Encrypt (string) Encrypt a string. ``` `pubnub.Encrypt(inputString, cipherKey) ` ``` Parameters • `inputString` (string) – data to encrypt. • `cipherKey` (string, deprecated) – overrides `CryptoModule`; uses legacy 128-bit encryption. ``` ` ` ``` --- ## Encrypt file Encrypt file contents. ``` `pubnub.EncryptFile(sourceFile, destinationFile) pubnub.EncryptFile(sourceFile, destinationFile, cipherKey) ` ``` ``` `byte[] outputBytes = pubnub.EncryptFile(sourceBytes) byte[] outputBytes = pubnub.EncryptFile(sourceBytes, cipherKey) ` ``` Parameters • `sourceFile` (string) – file to encrypt. • `destinationFile` (string) – output path. • `sourceBytes` (byte[]) – file bytes. • `cipherKey` (string, deprecated) – custom key; triggers legacy 128-bit encryption. ``` ` ` ``` --- ## Decrypt (string) Decrypt a string. ``` `pubnub.Decrypt(inputString, cipherKey) ` ``` Parameters mirror `Encrypt`. ``` ` ` ``` --- ## Decrypt file ``` `pubnub.DecryptFile(sourceFile, destinationFile); pubnub.DecryptFile(sourceFile, destinationFile, cipherKey); ` ``` ``` `byte[] outputBytes = pubnub.DecryptFile(sourceBytes) byte[] outputBytes = pubnub.DecryptFile(sourceBytes, cipherKey) ` ``` Parameters mirror `Encrypt file`. ``` ` ` ``` --- ## Disconnect Force-stop all requests when subscribed channels are active. ``` `DisconnectT>() ` ``` ``` ` ` ``` --- ## Get subscribed channel groups ``` `Liststring> GetSubscribedChannelGroups() ` ``` ``` `["channelGroup1", "channelGroup2"] ` ``` --- ## Get subscribed channels ``` `Liststring> GetSubscribedChannels() ` ``` ``` `["channel1", "channel2"] ` ``` --- ## Reconnect ``` `ReconnectT>(bool resetSubscribeToken) ` ``` • `resetSubscribeToken` (bool) – `true` sends zero timetoken. ``` `**` ``` _Last updated: Jul 15 2025_
