![]() | 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(Int32) | When overridden in a derived class, returns pseudo-random key bytes. |
![]() | GetHashCode() | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType() | |
![]() | MemberwiseClone() | |
![]() | 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.) |
