Encrypt/ Decrypt Strings to Base64 in C#

Base64 Encoding represent binary data in as ASCII string format. I have created a small desktop application that will encrypt and Decrypt string.

Code base associated with the application:

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            String Result = EncryptBase64(txtEncodeString.Text.Trim().ToString());

            txtEncodeValue.Text = Result;

        }

        public static string EncryptBase64(string value)

        {

            string result = "";

            try

            {

                if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(value))

                {

                    byte[] bytes = System.Text.UnicodeEncoding.UTF8.GetBytes(value);

                    result = Convert.ToBase64String(bytes);

                }

            }

            catch { }

            return result;

        }

        private void btnDecode_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            String Result = DecryptBase64(txtDecodeString.Text.Trim().ToString());

            txtDecodeValue.Text = Result;

        }

        public static string DecryptBase64(string value)

        {

            string result = "";

            try

            {

                byte[] bytes = Convert.FromBase64String(value);

                result = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes);

            }

            catch { }

            return result;

        }
