No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.

The ICryptoTransform type exposes the following members.

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

	Name	Description
	Dispose	Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources. (Inherited from IDisposable.)
	TransformBlock	Transforms the specified region of the input byte array and copies the resulting transform to the specified region of the output byte array.
	TransformFinalBlock	Transforms the specified region of the specified byte array.

Hash algorithms are an example of cryptographic transformations (HashAlgorithm).
