DIfference between VS2003 / 2005 causing CRYPTO Bad Data exception

**KCS** · Jul 21 '05, 10:16 PM

Hi there. Can you help?

My encrypton / decryption routines work fine with exactly the same code if:

(a) I encrypt and decrypt with .NET FW 1.1 with VS2003 or
(b) I encrypt and decrypt with .NET FW 2.0 with VS2005

but if I try to decrypt a string encrypted via VS2005 but using VS2003 (or
the other way round) I get a Bad Data exception.

Any ideas?

Are there specific differences between the Crypto classes in each VS version
or the .NET Framework versions?

Thanks
