Possible to calculate MD5 (or other) hash with buffered reads?

by

You use the TransformBlock and TransformFinalBlock methods to process the data in chunks.

// Init
MD5 md5 = MD5.Create();
int offset = 0;

// For each block:
offset += md5.TransformBlock(block, 0, block.Length, block, 0);

// For last block:
md5.TransformFinalBlock(block, 0, block.Length);

// Get the has code
byte[] hash = md5.Hash;

Note: It works (at least with the MD5 provider) to send all blocks to TransformBlock and then send an empty block to TransformFinalBlock to finalise the process.
