Need Clarification: Encryption

I answered a question some days back and I got a downvote :-). Well, I'm still not able to find out what is wrong in my understanding of public key cryptography.

The question was nice and was:

If a string is encrypted in JAVA and .NET the resulting encrypted string is different but when reaches @ server it can be decrypted correctly.

My answer was: RSA Encryption in Java/.NET and decryption in .NET

I would like to understand what was wrong with the answer. Comments?

Public key is used to encrypt the message, which the destination decrypts using its Private key.

Your answer was down-voted probably because you stated the reverse.
