Problem generating MD5 hash from asp classic like .NET

I need to generate an MD5 hash in ASP, not ASP.NET, and have that hash be
the same as what is produced by the .NET MD5CryptoServic eProvider.
This is the vb.net code I am using...

Function GenerateMD5Hash (ByVal SourceText As String) As String
'Create an encoding object to ensure the encoding standard for the
source text
Dim Ue As New UnicodeEncoding
'Retrieve a byte array based on the source text
Dim ByteSourceText( ) As Byte = Ue.GetBytes(Sou rceText)
'Instantiate an MD5 Provider object
Dim Md5 As New MD5CryptoServic eProvider
'Compute the hash value from the source
Dim ByteHash() As Byte = Md5.ComputeHash (ByteSourceText )
'And convert it to String format for return
MsgBox(System.T ext.ASCIIEncodi ng.ASCII.GetStr ing(ByteHash))
Return Convert.ToBase6 4String(ByteHas h)
End Function
Thanks in advance!

I found a few examples that return MD5 hash as hex string, how can I resolve that with the byte that .NET MD5 implementation gives me? Thanks in advance! Derrick

Is it possible to hash a 100 bytes string to a integer? I found a few .NET classes for that such as Sha1Managed.ComputeHash but they return bytes. I am just not sure about the idea of converting 100 bytes to four or eight without loosing uniqueness. The issue has come up because I am storing bills with customers in database and I would like to reuse customers, so that not every bill has its own customer. In order to do that I need to...

In a program randomly generating 10 000 000 alphanumeric codes of 16 characters in length (Ex.: "ZAZAZAZAZAZAZ156"), what would be an efficient way to ensure that I do not generate duplicates? STL set, map? Could you give me a little code example? Thank you.

Use Case: We have music files that describe, in their filename, attributes of the music. We do not know a general pattern that applies to all filenames -- but we do know that filenames that are clustered together (by for example directory) will, most likely, have the same filename pattern. Here is an example: 10,000 Maniacs - MTV Unplugged - 01 - These are Days.mp3

I would be grateful if someone had a minute or two to review my hash table implementation. It's not yet commented but hopefully it's short and idiomatic enough to be readable. Some of the code (i.e. the get_hash function) is borrowed from various snippets I found on the net. Thee free function could probably need some love. I have been thinking about having a second linked list of all entries so that the cost of freeing is in proportion to...

Hello all, I am trying to generate random seeds for my simulations. currently i was using srand(time(NULL); for this purpose. But for confidence in my results i ran it using a script in a loop. Since the time b/w execution is very similar, many simulation runs resulted in exact same results. Is there a better way of seeding the random number generator in c/c++

I am trying to provide some security to text files, by adding a signature at the end of each text file. this signature needs to be generated by some kind of hashing algorithm. so while sending the file, i will sign the text file and at the receiving end, the text file will be checked to make sure that the hash code matches. ( not that it matters for this but my environment is c++ in vs.net2003) any ideas about what kind of hash...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
