Given a pgp public key:  Is it possible to encrypt data using the
System.Security.Cryptograghy library and decrypt the data using PGPcmdln?  I
tried and got this error (while trying to decrypt the file):  "File is not a
PGP file!".  What can I do?

Use PGP library for .NET. You might want to check at http://www.secureblackbox.com/description-sec-pgpblackbox.html
PGPBlackbox for .NET will be officially released in about a week (it's beta
now).

Hello foobar,

no, that will not work. .NET does not have support for PGP keys (1.1 and
2.0).
