Well, how can I get the md5 hashvalue of a whole file?
I only found how to encrypt strings in the web, but nothing about whole files.
I tried it myself, but the result is not the same as when I use a freeware programm (and I assume the error is in MY code):
any help appreciated,Code:Private Sub testHash(ByVal filepath As System.String) Dim hashvalue As String Dim inputStream As FileStream inputStream = File.OpenRead(filepath) Dim tmpSource(1024) As Byte Dim tmpHash() As Byte inputStream.Read(tmpSource, 0, tmpSource.Length) tmpHash = New MD5CryptoServiceProvider().ComputeHash(tmpSource) Dim i As Integer Dim sOutput As New StringBuilder(tmpHash.Length) For i = 0 To tmpHash.Length - 1 sOutput.Append(tmpHash(i).ToString("X2")) Next hashvalue = sOutput.ToString() inputStream.Close() MessageBox.Show(hashvalue) End Sub
thanx
Usul
