Short Strings - Data Encryption/Decryption

[Mythran]

I have googled and tested and tried and still I can't seem to implement a
simple encryption/decryption console application. My goal is to create two
methods.

public byte[] Encrypt(string DataToEncrypt, string Key)
{
...
}

public byte[] Decrypt(byte[] DataToDecrypt, string Key)
{
...
}
The Key parameter *should* be a variable-length string (an alpha-numeric
password if you will). I'm at a loss at where to go from here...gah!

Any and all help is greatly appreciated,

I was going to suggest the System.Security .Cryptography namespace. Might be
worth following up if that's not the method you used for your solution.

Yeah, I played with the Cryptography namespace and reviewed every provider
class in it...and I just couldn't figure out how to do it until I posted the
2nd post lol...my solution was using the TripleDESCrypto ServiceProvider
along with PasswordDeriveB ytes classes :)
