A simplest way of Encrypting and Decrypting in C#.

Microsoft has provided a simplest way of encoding and decoding of strings  by using the System.Text.Here is the Code below to do Encryption and Decryption.


using System.Text;
For Encryption
 string encryptedString= Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes("Text to Encrypt"));

For Decryption
 string decryptedString=Encoding.Unicode.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String("Text to Decrypt"));

How simple is it?

Note:This type of Encryption is not good for encrypting the passwords or credit card or Debit card information's or Online transactions as these are prone to decoding easily and can be hacked. so these are good for sending email in coding format through URL etc.
