public:
 virtual property int KeySize { int get(); void set(int value); };
public override int KeySize { get; set; }
public override int KeySize { get; [System.Security.SecurityCritical] set; }
member this.KeySize : int with get, set
[<set: System.Security.SecurityCritical>]

Public Overrides Property KeySize As Integer

Property Value

Int32

The size, in bits, of the key.

Attributes
SecurityCriticalAttribute

Remarks

For AES, the legal key sizes are 128, 192, and 256 bits.

Changing the KeySize value resets the key and generates a new random key. This happens whenever the KeySize property setter is invoked (including when it's assigned the same value).
