Here is what i ended up using
// convert from binary to Base64
Source = System.Convert.ToBase64String(bytOut, 0, i);
// convert from Base64 to binary
byte[] bytIn = System.Convert.FromBase64String(Source);
>In using some of the Cryptography routines I am trying to use the GenerateKey() and GenerateIV() methods to allow for creation of Keys and IVs for the encryption process. When this is done, it is needful to store the generated keys in a string representation that can later be reconverted to the byte arrays used for the encryption process.

I've used several of the encoding methods to convert to a string representation but reconverting to the byte array does not yield the original bytes which causes the encryption process to fail ( catastrophically :-) ).
