C# code to blowfish encrypt a byte array.

	// Create an instance of the Chilkat encryption class.
	Chilkat.Crypt2 crypt = new Chilkat.Crypt2(); 

	// Any code begins the 30-day trial.
	crypt.UnlockComponent("30-day-trial"); 

	// Set the encryption algorithm to blowfish
	crypt.CryptAlgorithm = "blowfish"; 

	// Set the password
	crypt.SecretKey = crypt.GenerateSecretKey("myPassword"); 

	// Generate some data to be encrypted.
	byte[] inputByteData = new byte[1000]; 
	int i;
	for (i=0; i<1000; i++) inputByteData[i] = (byte)(i%100);

	// Encrypt a byte array using Blowfish
	byte[] encryptedBytes; 
	encryptedBytes = crypt.EncryptBytes(inputByteData);

	if (encryptedBytes == null) 
	{
		MessageBox.Show(crypt.LastErrorText);
	}
