Hi all,

public static string Encryptoin(string EncryptWord)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(EncryptWord))
return "";
string KeyFileName = HttpContext.Current.Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + "\\symmetric_key.config";
SymmetricEncryptionUtility.AlgorithmName = "DES";
byte[] data = SymmetricEncryptionUtility.EncryptData(EncryptWord, KeyFileName);
  ...
Go to the complete details ...
