Is it better to write code in C# or Visual Basic?

You can write code for your Web application in any language supported by the .NET Framework. That includes Visual Basic, C#, J#, JScript, and others. Although the languages have different syntax, they all compile to the same object code. The languages have small differences in how they support different features. For example, C# provides access to unmanaged code, while Visual Basic supports implicit event binding via the Handles clause. However, the differences are minor, and unless your requirements involve one of these small differences, the choice of programming language is one of personal preference. Once programs are compiled, they all perform identically; that is, Visual Basic programs run just as fast as C# programs, since they both produce the same object code.

How do I calculate a MD5 hash from a string?

It is a common practice to store passwords in databases using a hash. MD5 (defined in RFC 1321 ) is a common hash algorithm, and using it from C# is easy. Here’s an implementation of a method that converts a string to an MD5 hash, which is a 32-character string of hexadecimal numbers. public string CalculateMD5Hash ( string input ) { // step 1, calculate MD5 hash from input MD5 md5 = System . Security . Cryptography . MD5 . Create ( ) ; byte [ ] inputBytes = System . Text . Encoding . ASCII . GetBytes ( input ) ; byte [ ] hash = md5 . ComputeHash ( inputBytes ) ; // step 2, convert byte array to hex string StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder ( ) ; for ( int i = 0 ; i < hash . Length ; i ++ ) { sb . Append ( hash [ i ] . ToString ( "X2" ) ) ; } return sb . ToString ( ) ; } An example call: string hash = CalculateMD5Hash ( "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" ) ; …returns a s
