I'm using RSACryptoServiceProvider I've generated public key and private key. The keys generated by it are in the following format:

Public key:

<RSAKeyValue>
    <Modulus>m9bAoh2...eGNKYs=</Modulus>
    <Exponent>AQAB</Exponent>
</RSAKeyValue>

Private key:

<RSAKeyValue>
    <Modulus>m9bAo...ZAIeGNKYs=</Modulus>
    <Exponent>AQAB</Exponent>
    <P>xGj/UcXs...R1lmeVQ==</P>
    <Q>yx6e18aP...GXzXIXw==</Q>
    <DP>NyxvnJ...1xAsEyQ==</DP>
    <DQ>La17Jycd...FhApEqwznQ==</DQ>
    <InverseQ>JrG7WCT...Hp3OWA==</InverseQ>
    <D>RdWsOFn....KL699Vh6HK0=</D>
</RSAKeyValue>

but using PGP Desktop i've generated keys like this -

Public key:

mQCNBEoOlp8BBACi/3EvBZ83ZduvG6YHu5F0P7Z3xOnpIsaPvTk0q+dnjwDUa5sU 
lEFbUZgDXSz7ZRhyiNqUOy+IG3ghPxpiKGBtldVpi33qaFCCEBiqsxRRpVCLgTUK 
HP2kH5ysrlFWkxTo 
=a4t9

Private key:

lQHgBEoOlp8BBACi/3EvBZ83ZduvG6YHu5F0P7Z3xOnpIsaPvTk0q+dnjwDUa5sU 
lEFbUZgDXSz7ZRhyiNqUOy+IG3ghPxpiKGBtldVpi33qaFCCEBiqsxRRpVCLgTUK 
waBnEitQti3XgUUEZnz/rnXcQVM0QFBe6H5x8fMDUw== 
=CVPD

So when I'm passing the keys generated by PGP Desktop it is able to do encryption and decryption perfectly but when im passing the keys generated by RSACryptoServiceProvider I'm not able to encrypt and decrypt?

Can anyone please tell me how to generate keys in the pattern generated by PGP?
