I'm attemping to deploy a crypto class that we use on a desktop app to SQL Server. I'll use the encryptstring/decryptstring found in this class as User Defined Functions on SQL Server. When I try to deploy the class I'm getting this error:
Error 1 Method, property or field 'EncryptString' of class 'EncryptingDecryptingOASISPWDS.Crypto' in assembly 'EncryptingDecryptingOASISPWDS' is not static. EncryptingDecryptingOASISPWDS

All CLR functions / SP used by SQL Server are required to be Static since sql server cannot instantiate a class before using it... it uses only static methods that does not requires any instance.So you must declare
<Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlFunction()> _
Static Function EncryptString(ByVal PlainText As String) As String
