Hi guys
i need to know if its possible to use visual c++ and make use of .net cryptography to encrypt files using the cryptography algorithms .net has to offer. cuz i have been searching around and only seem to managed to find c# cryptography material. Btw what cryptography algorithms does .net have?
Thx in advance for any help

You can used C++/CLR (managed C++) to create an application that uses the .NET frame work and thus give you access to the .NET Cryptography classes.

In Visual Studio start by creating a C++ -> CLR project. This project should also be able to call out to native C++ and C code.

I do not know anything about .NET cryptography so I can not say what algorithms it supports but I imagine you could easily look that up on MSDN.
