Can I depend on the values of GetHashCode() to be consistent?

by

If I’m not mistaken, GetHashCode is consistent given the same value, but it is NOT guaranteed to be consistent across different versions of the framework.

From the MSDN docs on String.GetHashCode():

The behavior of GetHashCode is dependent on its implementation, which might change from one version of the common language runtime to another. A reason why this might happen is to improve the performance of GetHashCode.
