This snippet generates a secure hash string using VB.NET

One of best and unknown built in string function included in .NET is String.Split(). It has come in quite handy for my in the last 2 years that I thought I'd share. Pretty basic example here...and for my first post, I thought I'd throw in a little File IO (for free of course)! This was written in .NET 2.0 and it will take little to no modification to make it work in 1.0/1.1.

This is a quick and easy class that will generate MD5 hashes from strings. I originally wrote it to insert into my Oracle database so I could generate MD5 hases for passwords from PL/SQL.

Example

String md5Hash = stringMD5("my password");

If you only want to compare yyyy-mm-dd you can use the java.sql.Date class, the valueOf method does the trick. It's perfectly safe as the sql Date class is a subclass of the Date class.
