PaddingValue Field

[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Represents the padding mode used in the symmetric algorithm.

Namespace:  System.Security.Cryptography
Assembly:  System.Security (in System.Security.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Protected PaddingValue As PaddingMode
protected PaddingMode PaddingValue
protected:
PaddingMode PaddingValue
val mutable PaddingValue: PaddingMode
protected var PaddingValue : PaddingMode

Remarks

Most plain text messages do not consist of a number of bytes that completely fill blocks. Often, there are not enough bytes to fill the last block. When this happens, a padding string is added to the text. For example, if the block length is 64 bits and the last block contains only 40 bits, 24 bits of padding are added.

This field is accessed through the Padding property.
