What is C#?

C# is a programming language designed by Microsoft. It is loosely based on C/C++, and bears a striking similarity to Java. Microsoft describe C# as follows:

"C# is a simple, modern, object oriented, and type-safe programming language derived from C and C++. C# (pronounced 'C sharp') is firmly planted in the C and C++ family tree of languages, and will immediately be familiar to C and C++ programmers. C# aims to combine the high productivity of Visual Basic and the raw power of C++."

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
