This could be used for any type of simple hash checking. It could also be used to store a "password" that had to be verified. This code is completely managed.

This routine will get an image stored in a SQL database (IBM Informix shown here) as a BLOB and return it to the screen.

To place this on an HTML page simply add

I have an MD5 hashed version as well, but can't share that...(So you can have encrypted id's passed)

Have fun,

Description:
Call one of the overloaded functions and a you will have a randomly generated password.

Generate() - Will generate a password 13 or (more/less) characters in length ranging from A-Z a-z 0-9 and other characters such as @ # %... etc.

Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Integer, ByVal AsciiMax As Integer)
Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Char, ByVal AsciiMax As Char) - Allows you to set your ASCII range if you wish not to include number for example.

Generate(ByVal ExcludeValues As String()) - Works like Generate() buts characters passed in the array will not be used to generate the password.

Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Integer, ByVal AsciiMax As Integer, ByVal ExcludeValues As String())
Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Char, ByVal AsciiMax As Char, ByVal ExcludeValues As String()) - Works like Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Integer, ByVal AsciiMax As Integer) & Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Char, ByVal AsciiMax As Char), but allows you to also exclude characters that you do not wish the generator to use.



UPDATE
03/06/2006: Included use of Phill64's TrueRandom2 class for generating random numbers. Also overloaded the constructor so that a length can be set for the password, if the length is not set the default is set to 13.

The easiest way to give columns in a DataGrid the look you want is to use a DataGridTableStyle and to add a GridColumnStyle for each column in the grid.
