Silverlight
Gets or sets the block size, in bits, of the cryptographic operation.
Namespace: System.Security.Cryptography
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| CryptographicException | The block size is invalid. |
The block size is the basic unit of data that can be encrypted or decrypted in one operation. Messages longer than the block size are handled as successive blocks; messages shorter than the block size must be padded with extra bits to reach the size of a block. Valid block sizes are determined by the symmetric algorithm used.
For a list of the operating systems and browsers that are supported by Silverlight, see Supported Operating Systems and Browsers.
