The DeriveBytes type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Dispose() | When overridden in a derived class, releases all resources used by the current instance of the DeriveBytes class. |
| Dispose(Boolean) | When overridden in a derived class, releases the unmanaged resources used by the DeriveBytes class and optionally releases the managed resources. |
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetBytes | When overridden in a derived class, returns pseudo-random key bytes. |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Reset | When overridden in a derived class, resets the state of the operation. |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
