RijndaelManagedTransform Class

.NET Framework 4

Performs a cryptographic transformation of data using the Rijndael algorithm. This class cannot be inherited.

System.Object
  System.Security.Cryptography.RijndaelManagedTransform

Namespace:  System.Security.Cryptography
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
C#
C++
F#
VB
Copy 
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public sealed class RijndaelManagedTransform : ICryptoTransform, 
	IDisposable

The RijndaelManagedTransform type exposes the following members.

  Name Description
Public property BlockSizeValue Gets the block size.
Public property CanReuseTransform Gets a value indicating whether the current transform can be reused.
Public property CanTransformMultipleBlocks Gets a value indicating whether multiple blocks can be transformed.
Public property InputBlockSize Gets the input block size.
Public property OutputBlockSize Gets the output block size.

  Name Description
Public method Clear Releases all resources used by the RijndaelManagedTransform class.
Public method Dispose Releases all resources used by the current instance of the RijndaelManagedTransform class.
Public method Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Reset Resets the internal state of RijndaelManagedTransform so it can be used again to do a different encryption or decryption.
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method TransformBlock Computes the transformation for the specified region of the input byte array and copies the resulting transformation to the specified region of the output byte array.
Public method TransformFinalBlock Computes the transformation for the specified region of the specified byte array.

Note Note

Using this class is not recommended. A better practice is to use RijndaelManaged with a CryptoStream object. The CryptoStream object handles the padding issues that can occur when using RijndaelManagedTransform directly. For an example, see the RijndaelManaged class.

Both the CreateEncryptor and CreateDecryptor methods return an instance of the RijndaelManagedTransform class that is initialized with the key information of the current RijndaelManaged object. To encrypt or decrypt data using the Rijndael algorithm, pass the RijndaelManagedTransform object returned by these methods to a CryptoStream object.
