PGP Encrypt from C# using GnuPG
- by Kishore
Hello All,
I'm trying to encrypt a incoming document in C#, and I'm using GnuPG with input redirection. I need to use -se(sign and encrypt) in a single step, which requires entering passphrase. But for some reason, input redirection is not working. Appreciate your help.
Control is going to else block.
I'm not sure if there is deadlock or child process(gpg.exe) waiting for the input.
pgpproc = new Process();
pgpproc.StartInfo.FileName = exeFilePath;
pgpproc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = false;
pgpproc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
pgpproc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
pgpproc.StartInfo.Arguments = "-a -o C:\PGPStaging\output.pgp -se -r recipientID C:\PGPStaging\input.txt";
pgpproc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
pgpproc.Start();
StreamWriter myStreamWriter = pgpproc.StandardInput;
myStreamWriter.Write("*****");
myStreamWriter.Close();
if (pgpproc.WaitForExit(waittime))
{
//success
}
else
{
//failure
pgpproc.Kill();
pgpproc.WaitForExit();
}
