Hi.
I'm starting to develope with encryption, and I'm supposed to use some functions inside advapi32.dll
I've been searching for information but nothing general to learn from the begining this encryption thing.
Does anybody know a good place with information about this? A predefined class or code? There must be something done, because what I need to do is quite simple, just encrypting and decrypting text (not whole files), for passwords.

Thanks in advance for your help.

PS: Visual Studio 2005, C#.

Thanks, but of course, if I'm writing here is because I googled before.

Don't answer for that please. There is no need.

I assume the OP didn't like the advice: countered.

Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

I'm with Richard: Google.

You say you have looked, but it can't have been that hard, or your Google-fu needs a lot of practice.

Give it practice, and look: Do your own research and you will learn something that will be useful for the rest of your career. Try to get others to do it, and you will never learn how.

I know you're right.
But, it's been 2 hours since I wrote the question, and still no result. Of course, I do work, while I wait for your answers. I know when to write a question on the forum or not. I was just asking for some resource.
Thanks for your help.

It's too general a question: you can find basics by googling "encryption MSDN" - there are probably several different tutorials right there. Don't be so lazy! Laugh | :laugh:

No result? I gave you the link to a page full of results. Did you go and investigate any of them, or are you just going to sit here whining because no-one is doing your work for you?

If all you're doing is encrypting a password, why not just use the encryptions class built into the .NET Framework?? It'll save you from P/Invoking all those functions yourself.

The problem is that I must use RC4, and the advapi32.dll, because we have other applicactions in powerbuilder using this system.
I am supposed to follow the same steps.
Thanks.

Paramters of Crystal Report

Good Day,

I'm trying to create a dynamic crystal report viewer.

I need to show only the ACTIVE PARAMATER that is used by a particular report.

Sample:

Parameters in Report Status of Parameter
Company Used in report
Division Used in report
Date Not use in report
Ledger Used in report

I'm able to show the parameters on the form but it is reading all the parameters saved in the crystal report.
I need to ignore those who are not active.

Thank you for your help in advance.

My Suggestion is: Don't bump your questions.
You posted this here 7 hours ago, and (presumably, I haven't looked) in Q&A at the same time.
