Simple XOR encryption of string with a key 1

[graabein]

Hi, I have a VB6 application that does XOR encryption on a password.

I have a web service that needs to test the communication and thus encrypt the plain text password but I have no idea how to work System.Security.Crypthography in C# .NET.

No luck googling either. Can anyone help me out? All I want to do is encrypt a plain text string with a string key like;

public string DoXorEncrypt(string plainText, string key)

there is a cryptography block in Ent Lib 1, 2, & 3. It's an MS project so it's considered heavy, but that would be a staring place.

System.Security.Crypthography on MSDN is the best place to start. from there google the name of objects, or concepts to see how other are using them.
