Gets or sets the size, in bits, of the key modulus used by the asymmetric algorithm.

The size, in bits, of the key modulus used by the asymmetric algorithm.
Exceptions
value is not permitted by LegalKeySizes.
Remarks
Setting this property to its current value has no visible effect. Setting this property to a new legal value discards the current key, but defers creation of a new key until one is needed.
Because key sizes do not uniquely identify elliptic curves, the use of the property setter is discouraged. To generate a new key on a specific curve, use the GenerateKey method.
