A fast hash function for string in C#

by 
static UInt64 CalculateHash(string read)
{
    UInt64 hashedValue = 3074457345618258791ul;
    for(int i=0; i<read.Length; i++)
    {
        hashedValue += read[i];
        hashedValue *= 3074457345618258799ul;
    }
    return hashedValue;
}

This is a Knuth hash. You can also use Jenkins.
