If my reply answers your question, please mark this post as answered.

NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined objects and unknown namespaces.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the Time and reply.

I am implementing AES_CBC_PKCS7 algorithm for ciphering.This I found pretty strong similar to Rijndal.
