1: create a new form, then add a button and two textbox's.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
-------------
2: Now add this line line to your button.
it should look something like this.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
-------------
3: Now you must add a Private Function. (it should go between End Sub and End Class)
Should look like this.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
-------------
4:Now you must add the rest of the code to the Private Function.
yet again, it should look something like this.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
-------------
5: Now try to run the program.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
just type "Hello" into TextBox1 and see what you get, if done right it should be "8b1a9953c4611296a827abf8c47804d7"
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
-------------
2: Now add this line line to your button.
txtoutput.text = StringToMD5(txtInput.Text) it should look something like this.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
-------------
3: Now you must add a Private Function. (it should go between End Sub and End Class)
Private Function StringToMD5(ByVal Content As String) As String Should look like this.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
-------------
4:Now you must add the rest of the code to the Private Function.
Dim M5 As New Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvider
Dim ByteString() As Byte = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Content)
ByteString = M5.ComputeHash(ByteString)
Dim FinalString As String = Nothing
For Each bt As Byte In ByteString
FinalString &= bt.ToString("x2")
Next
Return FinalString
End Function yet again, it should look something like this.

Helpful. Although I've never known a use for creating an MD5 hash in VB. Unless of course you're storing a password somewhere.

yup, thats one use, you also can use it for experimenting with brute force/dictionary attacks.

MD5 is a one-way hash encryption. In simple, it converts any string into a 32 character hexadecimal (0-9 & A-F) string. It's main use is for encrypting stored data so that even in a way that makes it near to impossible to read by thieves.

Right and wrong, right about everything except its main use. Its main use is for checking file signatures. Same with RSA.

U sir are 100% wrong
Name me a program that cannot be cracked, whether encrypted with MD5 or anything for that matter!
