MD5 Encryption In C#.NET
Do you need to hash secret values (ex:passwords) with md5 algorithm in C#.NET? Actually, .NET framework has provided this cryptography, but, you cannot use it directly like what you can do the same thing in PHP. In PHP, you just need to call md5 function. In C#.NET, you have to define the function yourself. For your information, the encrypted values will not be able to be decrypted because md5 is a one-way encryption.

byte[] rescBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes (plainText);
byte[] hashBytes = enc.ComputeHash (rescBytes);
StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < hashBytes.Length; i++){
str.Append (hashBytes[i].ToString ("X2"));
// You may use this alternative command to have the hex string
// in lower-case letters instead of upper-case
// str.Append(hashBytes[i].ToString("x2"));
}
return str.ToString();
