Visual Studio 2008

The SymmetricAlgorithm type exposes the following members.

  NameDescription
Public method Supported by the .NET Compact Framework Clear Releases all resources used by the SymmetricAlgorithm class.
Public method Static member Supported by the .NET Compact Framework Create Overloaded. Creates a cryptographic object used to perform the symmetric algorithm.
Public method Supported by the .NET Compact Framework CreateDecryptor Overloaded. Creates a symmetric decryptor object.
Public method Supported by the .NET Compact Framework CreateEncryptor Overloaded. Creates a symmetric encryptor object.
Protected method Supported by the .NET Compact Framework Dispose Releases the unmanaged resources used by the SymmetricAlgorithm and optionally releases the managed resources.
Public method Supported by the .NET Compact Framework Equals Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method Supported by the .NET Compact Framework 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 Supported by the .NET Compact Framework GenerateIV When overridden in a derived class, generates a random initialization vector (IV) to use for the algorithm.
Public method Supported by the .NET Compact Framework GenerateKey When overridden in a derived class, generates a random key (Key) to use for the algorithm.
Public method Supported by the .NET Compact Framework GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Supported by the .NET Compact Framework GetType Gets the type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method Supported by the .NET Compact Framework MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Supported by the .NET Compact Framework ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Supported by the .NET Compact Framework ValidKeySize Determines whether the specified key size is valid for the current algorithm.
