String Encrypt and Decrypt Examples

[Greg R]

Where can I find a code example that will demonstrate the encryption and decryption of a string in C#
I am familiar with "System.Security.Cryptography" encryption, but need a system that will both encrypt and decrypt a string

Is it possible to convert a string that represents a byte array as the output string below
string input = "something"
Byte[] clearBytes = new UnicodeEncoding().GetBytes(input)
string output = BitConverter.ToString(clearBytes)
back into original string "something"

Thank you

[Bruno van Dooren]

are the encryption / decryption classes in system.security.cryptography not
good enough?
they can do exactly what you ask for, or am i missing something?

kind regards,
Bruno.
