Vb.net to golang AES

I am trying to convert a function encryption routine from VB to Golang.

My Go route returns the hex length of my what ever value I pass into it but the VB routine always returns a length of 32.

Could some please advice me on what I am doing wrong?

VB:

Function encryptString(ByVal source As String, ByVal key As Byte(), ByVal IV As Byte()) As Byte()
    Dim array As Byte() = Nothing
    Using aesManaged As System.Security.Cryptography.AesManaged = New System.Security.Cryptography.AesManaged()
        aesManaged.Key = key
        aesManaged.IV = IV
        Dim cryptoTransform As ICryptoTransform = aesManaged.CreateEncryptor(aesManaged.Key, aesManaged.IV)
        Using memoryStream As System.IO.MemoryStream = New System.IO.MemoryStream()
            Using cryptoStream As System.Security.Cryptography.CryptoStream = New System.Security.Cryptography.CryptoStream(memoryStream, cryptoTransform, CryptoStreamMode.Write)
                Using streamWriter As System.IO.StreamWriter = New System.IO.StreamWriter(cryptoStream)
                    streamWriter.Write(source)
                End Using
                array = memoryStream.ToArray()
            End Using
        End Using
    End Using

Go

func Encrypt(key string, plaintext string) string {
    block, err := aes.NewCipher([]byte(key))

    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    str := []byte(plaintext)

    iv := []byte{178, 212, 4, 97, 181, 77, 129, 200, 198, 223, 84, 96, 81, 55, 3, 40}
    encrypter := cipher.NewCFBEncrypter(block, iv)
    encrypted := make([]byte, len(str))
    encrypter.XORKeyStream(encrypted, str)
    fmt.Printf("%s encrypted to %x\n", str, encrypted)
}

Also both times the IV and the key have been the same but I get different results...

The default mode of operation in .Net is probably CBC (you should set it explicitly), but your Go code uses CFB mode. They are not compatible.

CBC mode requires a padding scheme, but CFB not. .Net uses PKCS#7 padding by default, but Go doesn't provide you with any help to add or remove padding. You would need to implement it yourself. This question contains an implementation of PKCS#7 padding.
