Should I use a concatenation of my string fields as a hash code?

Question

I have an Address class in C# that looks like this:

public class Address
{            
    public string StreetAddress { get; set; }
    public string RuralR         


        

Answer 1

public string getfourDigitEncryptedText(string input) { 
    int hashCode = input.hashCode(); 
    string hstring = (new StringBuilder()).append(hashCode).append("").toString(); 
    string rev_hstring = (new StringBuilder(hstring)).reverse().toString(); 
    string parts[] = rev_hstring.trim().split(""); 
    int prefixint = 0; 
    for(int i = 1; i <= parts.length - 3; i++) 
        prefixint += integer.parseInt(parts[i]);   
    string prefixstr = "0"; 
    if((new integer(prefixint)).toString().length() < 2) 
        prefixstr = (new StringBuilder()).append((new integer(prefixint)).toString()).append("5").toString(); 
    else if((new integer(prefixint)).toString().length() > 2) 
        prefixstr = "79"; 
    else 
        prefixstr = (new integer(prefixint)).toString(); 
    string finalstr = (new StringBuilder()).append(prefixint).append(rev_hstring.substring(3, 5)).toString();
    return finalstr; 
}
