MD5
MD5 function

Method PrototypeDescription
Function MD5(data As String) As Stringcompute MD5 checksum


This function computes the MD5 (Message Digest algorithm 5) cryptographic hash value of the given data. The result is basically a "checksum" value that is unlikely to be duplicated for other data, even if that other data differs only slightly.

See MD5Digest for a class that performs the same operation, but can work on chunks of the data at a time instead of requiring it all at once.
