What is DLL Hell?

DLL hell is the problem that occurs when an installation of a newer application might break or hinder other applications as newer DLLs are copied into the system and the older applications do not support or are not compatible with them. .NET overcomes this problem by supporting multiple versions of an assembly at any given time. This is also called side-by-side component versioning.

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
