  1. POC# MD5 Hash results not expected result
    text
    copied!<p>I've tried every example I can find on the web but I cannot get my .NET code to produce the same MD5 Hash results from my VB6 app.</p> <p>The VB6 app produces identical results to this site: <a href="http://www.functions-online.com/md5.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.functions-online.com/md5.html</a></p> <p>But I cannot get the same results for the same input in C# (using either the MD5.ComputeHash method or the FormsAuthentication encryption method)</p> <p>Please help!!!!</p> <p>As requested, here is some code. This is pulled straight from MSDN:</p> <pre><code> public string hashString(string input) { // Create a new instance of the MD5CryptoServiceProvider object. MD5 md5Hasher = MD5.Create(); // Convert the input string to a byte array and compute the hash. byte[] data = md5Hasher.ComputeHash(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(input)); // Create a new Stringbuilder to collect the bytes // and create a string. StringBuilder sBuilder = new StringBuilder(); // Loop through each byte of the hashed data // and format each one as a hexadecimal string. for (int i = 0; i &lt; data.Length; i++) { sBuilder.Append(data[i].ToString("x2")); } // Return the hexadecimal string. return sBuilder.ToString(); } </code></pre> <p>My test string is: </p> <p>QWERTY123TEST</p> <p>The results from this code is:</p> <pre><code>8c31a947080131edeaf847eb7c6fcad5 </code></pre> <p>The result from Test MD5 is:</p> <pre><code>f6ef5dc04609664c2875895d7da34eb9 </code></pre> <p>Note: The result from the TestMD5 is what I am expecting</p> <p>Note: I've been really, really stupid, sorry - just realised I had the wrong input. As soon as I hard-coded it, it worked. Thanks for the help</p>
