Source:

TripleDES.cs

Gets or sets the secret key for the TripleDES algorithm.

public:
 virtual property cli::array <System::Byte> ^ Key { cli::array <System::Byte> ^ get(); void set(cli::array <System::Byte> ^ value); };

public override byte[] Key { get; set; }

member this.Key : byte[] with get, set

Public Overrides Property Key As Byte()

Property Value

Byte[]

The secret key for the TripleDES algorithm.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

An attempt was made to set the key to null.

CryptographicException

An attempt was made to set a key whose length is invalid.

-or-

An attempt was made to set a weak key (see IsWeakKey(Byte[])).

Remarks
