Have you tried using DES, Rijndael.code samples??Symmentric keys are always good for encrypting large files

Jim, Thats a cool thing. I was thinking about streams but didnt know there was a crypto stream

disclaimer: I'm modestly familiar with .net and somewhat familiar with encryption. I'm working on a .net project that requires large-ish files (up to 5gb) to be encrypted. The encryption classes I've found so far either work in memory (and hence get out-of-memory exceptions) or come with license fees that would be awkward to deal with.<br />
<br />
Is there any encryption class that's efficient with large files and is open-source or otherwise free?<br />
<br />
Thanks, Bill

.net encryption class for large files

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
