AsymetricAlgorithm Encryption Limit

Hi,

I was trying to encrypt some objects using RSACryptoServiceProvider class in
.NET.
But if the objects crosses certain limit I get the exception as "Bad
Length".

I went trough the MSDN, it says Asymmetric alorithms are used to encrypt
small bytes of data.

Is it really so? Can't i use RSACrypto... to encrypt large data.

I have a option of using symetric algo to encrypt large data, but before
that I would like to know that,
.NET specifies a limit of data encrypted using Asymmetric algo?

Thanks.

Sincerely

Dinesh
