AES 256 encryption in .NET Framework 2.0

Question

Does anyone know if C# can be used in .NET Framework 2.0 to use AES 256 encryption and decryption? Appreciate if the in-built framework supports this or if we have to use any external APIs for the same?

Thanks.

Have a look at the System.Security.Cryptography namespace. It contains classes you can use for AES encryption, such as the Rijndael class.
