Anyone ever try and encrypt something using and decrypt it using  
[VB.NET](http://VB.NET)? I have been trying this for the better part of a week now with  
no luck. Anyone ever done this and been successful?

Can you post your code so far, and tell the problems you are having?  
It’s better when there’s something to start with.

Then, other questions are what kind of encryption do you mean, for  
what purpose, symmetric/asymmetric?

I’m using crypt/rijndael, base64 encoding the result, and then CGI  
escaping that, for use on the other side by code written in [VB.NET](http://VB.NET).  
It’s  
been in production about a year and a quarter.
