Encrypting a String

Hi all,

I've actually seen a post answering a question similar to the one I'm about
to ask - but can't seem to keep more than 14 days worth of posts on my PC at
a time. I've spent the last hour searching a local Web based newsreader
site for the old post, with no luck. So please don't get too bent out of
shape if this is a redundant post :)

All that being said, I want to use .NET's built-in cryptography classes to
encrypt and decrypt a string. All the examples I've found seem to encrypt a
file as opposed to just an in-memory string variable.

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the redundancy,
Michael C., MCDBA

Never mind. For anyone that's interested, I found an excellent example that
uses the DPAPI to manage your encryption keys on the MS website. URL:
