| CryptographicException | The cryptographic service provider (CSP) cannot be acquired. -or- The parameters parameter has missing fields. |
The following code example imports key information created from an RSAParameters object into an RSACryptoServiceProvider object.
try { //Create a new RSACryptoServiceProvider object. using (RSACryptoServiceProvider RSA = new RSACryptoServiceProvider()) { //Export the key information to an RSAParameters object. //Pass false to export the public key information or pass //true to export public and private key information. RSAParameters RSAParams = RSA.ExportParameters(false); //Create another RSACryptoServiceProvider object. using (RSACryptoServiceProvider RSA2 = new RSACryptoServiceProvider()) { //Import the the key information from the other //RSACryptoServiceProvider object. RSA2.ImportParameters(RSAParams); } } } catch (CryptographicException e) { //Catch this exception in case the encryption did //not succeed. Console.WriteLine(e.Message); }
