    Hello Roy,

    A public/private key pair is generated whenever a new instance of an
    asymmetric algorithm class is created. Once a new instance of the class is
    created, the key information can be extracted using one of two methods:

    1. The ToXMLString method, which returns an XML representation of the key
    information.
    2. The ExportParameters method, which returns an RSAParameters enumeration
    to hold the key information.

    For more information on this, you may refer to this article:

    Generating Keys for Encryption and Decryption

    Hope this help,

    Luke
