Encrypt string with Bouncy Castle AES/CBC/PKCS7

Question

I have been looking everywhere for some sample code on how to encrypt a simple string with the encryption in the title using the Bouncy Castle Framework.

This code w

        byte[] k; //32 byte
        string para; // plaintext
        string msgRefNo; // 16byte

        byte[] inputBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(para);
        byte[] IV = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(msgRefNo);
        byte[] key = k;


        AesEngine engine = new AesEngine();
        CbcBlockCipher blockCipher = new CbcBlockCipher(engine);
        PaddedBufferedBlockCipher cipher1 = new PaddedBufferedBlockCipher(blockCipher, new Pkcs7Padding());

        KeyParameter keyParam = new KeyParameter(key);
        ParametersWithIV keyParamWithIv = new ParametersWithIV(keyParam, IV);


        cipher1.Init(true, keyParamWithIv); //Error Message thrown
        byte[] outputBytes = new byte[cipher1.GetOutputSize(inputBytes.Length)]; //cip
        int length = cipher1.ProcessBytes(inputBytes, outputBytes, 0);
        cipher1.DoFinal(outputBytes, length); //Do the final block
        string encryptedInput = Convert.ToBase64String(outputBytes);
        return encryptedInput;
