Hello everyone,
I am using the following code to generate result of MD5 to a string, my question is how to convert it to an int? The string is 16 bytes, too big for an int. :-)
My purpose is to get the hash code for an input string, but result in the form of an int.
[Code]
string a = "Input String";
MD5CryptoServiceProvider md5 = new MD5CryptoServiceProvider();
System.Text.Encoding enc = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
StringBuilder resultBuffer = new StringBuilder();
byte[] result = md5.ComputeHash(UTF8Encoding.Default.GetBytes(a));
for (int i = 0; i < result.Length; i++)
{
resultBuffer.Append(result[i].ToString("X"));
}
string resultStr = resultBuffer.ToString();
[/Code]
regards,
George
