Code Snippet - MD5 Encryption in C#

private string encryptString(string strToEncrypt)
{
System.Text.UTF8Encoding ue = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding();
byte[] bytes = ue.GetBytes(strToEncrypt);

// encrypt bytes
System.Security.Cryptography

.MD5CryptoServiceProvi der md5 = new
System.Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvi der();
byte[] hashBytes = md5.ComputeHash(bytes);

// Convert the encrypted bytes back to a string (base 16)
string hashString = "";

for(int i=0;i {
hashString += Convert.ToString(hashBytes[i],16).PadLeft(2,'0');
}

return hashString.PadLeft(32,'0');
