Module Example

    ' Hash an input string and return the hash as
    ' a 32 character hexadecimal string.
    Function getMd5Hash(ByVal input As String) As String
        ' Create a new instance of the MD5 object.

        ' Convert the input string to a byte array and compute the hash.
        Dim data As Byte() = md5Hasher.ComputeHash(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(input))

        ' Create a new Stringbuilder to collect the bytes
        ' and create a string.
        Dim sBuilder As New StringBuilder()

        ' Loop through each byte of the hashed data
        ' and format each one as a hexadecimal string.
        Dim i As Integer
        For i = 0 To data.Length - 1
            sBuilder.Append(data(i).ToString("x2"))
        Next i

        ' Return the hexadecimal string.
        Return sBuilder.ToString()

' This code example produces the following output:

' Verifying the hash...
' The hashes are the same.
