How to generate MD5 hash code for my WinRT app using C#?

Question

I\'m creating a MetroStyle app and I want to generate a MD5 code for my string. So far I\'ve used this:

    public static string ComputeMD5(string str)
    {         


        

Answer 1

OK. I've found how to do this. Here's the final code:

    public static string ComputeMD5(string str)
    {
        var alg = HashAlgorithmProvider.OpenAlgorithm(HashAlgorithmNames.Md5);
        IBuffer buff = CryptographicBuffer.ConvertStringToBinary(str, BinaryStringEncoding.Utf8);
        var hashed = alg.HashData(buff);
        var res = CryptographicBuffer.EncodeToHexString(hashed);
        return res;
    }
