What is the difference between the destructor and the Finalize() method? When does the Finalize() method get called?

Finalize() corresponds to the .Net Framework and is part of the System.Object class. Destructors are C#'s implementation of the Finalize() method. The functionality of both Finalize() and the destructor is the same, i.e., they contain code for freeing the resources when the object is about to be garbage collected. In C#, destructors are converted to the Finalize() method when the program is compiled. The Finalize() method is called by the .Net Runtime and we can not predict when it will be called. It is guaranteed to be called when there is no reference pointing to the object and the object is about to be garbage collected.

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
