In the following, please, what would I declare 'hashedPassword' as?

cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@username", username)
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@strEmail", email)
            Dim hashedPassword = Crypto.HashPassword(password)
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@hashed", hashedPassword)
            connection.Open()
            cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

Thank you.
