What is the length of ciphertext for AES encryption using C#? - encryption

Question

From:
Can we calculate AES ciphertext length based on the length of the plaintext?
I see: output_size = input_size + (16 - (input_size % 16))
But this does not seem to correspond with what I see when running tests using C# and the AesCng with PKCS7 padding and CBC CipherMode.
Thoughts on how I calculate the length of the encrypted value?
Here's the code for sample program:
Public Shared Function Encrypt(ByVal plainText As String, ByVal aes256BitKeyValue As String, ByVal initialVector As String) As String
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(plainText) Then
Return String.Empty
End If
Dim initialVectorBytes As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(initialVector)
Dim plainTextBytes As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(plainText)
Dim cipherTextBytes As Byte() = Nothing
Using symmetricKey As New System.Security.Cryptography.AesCng()
symmetricKey.Padding = Security.Cryptography.PaddingMode.PKCS7
symmetricKey.Mode = System.Security.Cryptography.CipherMode.CBC
Dim keyBytes As Byte() = StringToByteArray(aes256BitKeyValue)
Try
Using cryptographyTransform As System.Security.Cryptography.ICryptoTransform = symmetricKey.CreateEncryptor(keyBytes, initialVectorBytes)
Using memoryStream As New System.IO.MemoryStream()
Using cryptographyStream As New System.Security.Cryptography.CryptoStream(memoryStream, cryptographyTransform, System.Security.Cryptography.CryptoStreamMode.Write)
cryptographyStream.Write(plainTextBytes, 0, plainTextBytes.Length)
cryptographyStream.FlushFinalBlock()
cipherTextBytes = memoryStream.ToArray()
memoryStream.Close()
cryptographyStream.Close()
End Using
End Using
End Using
Catch ex As Exception
Throw New Exceptions.EncryptionException(String.Format(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, Resources.ExceptionMessages.EncryptionFailed1, ex))
Finally
symmetricKey.Clear()
End Try
End Using
Return Convert.ToBase64String(cipherTextBytes)
End Function
