Calculate a MD5 hash from a string

by

As per MSDN

Create MD5:

public static string CreateMD5(string input)
{
    // Use input string to calculate MD5 hash
    using (System.Security.Cryptography.MD5 md5 = System.Security.Cryptography.MD5.Create())
    {
        byte[] inputBytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(input);
        byte[] hashBytes = md5.ComputeHash(inputBytes);

        return Convert.ToHexString(hashBytes); // .NET 5 +

        // Convert the byte array to hexadecimal string prior to .NET 5
        // StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
        // for (int i = 0; i < hashBytes.Length; i++)
        // {
        //     sb.Append(hashBytes[i].ToString("X2"));
        // }
        // return sb.ToString();
    }
}
