C# Encryption Decryption Class AES

Sometimes you may need to use encryption and decryption class in your C# project. Here is a simple class you can use for above purpose feel free to use it and feedback with improvement. This class use Advance Encryption Standers. and RijndaelManaged method.

/*******************************************************************
File:         Crypter.cs
Author:       Nayana Adassuriya
Description:  Uses to encrypt or decrypt any string by symettric way (AES,RijndaelManaged) 
Language:     C#
Limitations:  Encription key genaration hashes are hardcoded in the class. 
              If some one knows these hashes, they can crate programe to decript the encripted strings. 
Thread Safe:  no  
Extendable:   yes 
Platform Depend:   Windows,.NET 3.5
Project:           None
