I have tried this example in my WPF project (with some small adaptations) and it does not work.

It throws {"Strong encryption algorithms are not supported."} exception and does not raise the event.

I am using version 13.3.0.18.

Any advice you can give would be much appreciated.

Thank you

Colin.
