Encryption & Decryption method for C#

EncryptDecrypt.cs

Interestingly PowerShell has the ability to run C++ and C# codes, as far as i understand it through special, scriptlets/cmdlets. This allows one to basically set up a windows service with PowerShell and write the service logic in C#/C++

At least that's to the best of my understanding. I am sure about C++ but i might be mistaken on C#, been experimenting with it a bit though.

RijndaelManaged
byte has to be using System
System.byte or using
