Using existing CryptoServiceProvider keys

I'm trying to use the cryptography classes with preexisting keys,
generated not from the .net classes. For the purposes of example,
let's says these keys are residing in disk files. How can I read
these key files to use with, let's say,
RSACryptoServiceProvider.Encrypt.

There is numerous articles about using existing key containers, but I
can't find any about importing existing keys into these containers.

Any help appreciated,

Thanks, J
