public: System.string* EncryptString( 
   EncryptionProvider encryptionType,
   System.string* key,
   System.string* input
)

public:
System.String^ EncryptString( 
   EncryptionProvider encryptionType,
   System.String^ key,
   System.String^ input
)

Parameters

encryptionType: The encryption algorithm to use
key: The encryption password
input: The string to encrypt

C#

Encryption encryption = new Encryption(); //Trial Mode
//Encryption encryption = new Encryption("place user name here", "place license key here"); //License Mode
 
const string password = "MyPassword";
const string unencryptedString = "This is the input";
Console.WriteLine("The unencrypted string: {0}", unencryptedString);
 
string encryptedString = encryption.EncryptString(EncryptionProvider.Rijndael, password, unencryptedString);
Console.WriteLine("The encrypted string: {0}", encryptedString);
 
string decryptedString = encryption.DecryptString(EncryptionProvider.Rijndael, password, encryptedString);
Console.WriteLine("The deencrypted string: {0}", decryptedString);

VB.NET

Dim encryption As New Encryption() 'Trial Mode
'Dim encryption As New Encryption("place user name here", "place license key here") 'License Mode
 
Const password As String = "MyPassword"
Const unencryptedString As String = "This is the input"
Console.WriteLine("The unencrypted string: {0}", unencryptedString)
 
Dim encryptedString As String = encryption.EncryptString(EncryptionProvider.Rijndael, password, unencryptedString)
Console.WriteLine("The encrypted string: {0}", encryptedString)
 
Dim decryptedString As String = encryption.DecryptString(EncryptionProvider.Rijndael, password, encryptedString)
Console.WriteLine("The deencrypted string: {0}", decryptedString)
