System.Security.Cryptograph ...


.NET Framework Class Library
RC2 Class

Updated: February 2009

Represents the base class from which all implementations of the RC2 algorithm must derive.

Namespace:  System.Security.Cryptography
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
<ComVisibleAttribute(True)> _
Public MustInherit Class RC2 _
    Inherits SymmetricAlgorithm
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As RC2
C#
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public abstract class RC2 : SymmetricAlgorithm
Visual C++
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public ref class RC2 abstract : public SymmetricAlgorithm
JScript
public abstract class RC2 extends SymmetricAlgorithm
Remarks

NoteNote:

A newer symmetric encryption algorithm, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), is available . Consider using the Aes class instead of the RC2 class.
