Hash.GenerateHash(HashAlgorithm) Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Security.Policy

Assembly:

System.Security.Permissions.dll

Source:

Hash.cs

Computes the hash value for the assembly using the specified hash algorithm.

public:
 cli::array <System::Byte> ^ GenerateHash(System::Security::Cryptography::HashAlgorithm ^ hashAlg);

public byte[] GenerateHash (System.Security.Cryptography.HashAlgorithm hashAlg);

member this.GenerateHash : System.Security.Cryptography.HashAlgorithm -> byte[]

Public Function GenerateHash (hashAlg As HashAlgorithm) As Byte()

Parameters

hashAlg

HashAlgorithm

The hash algorithm to use to compute the hash value for the assembly.

Returns

Byte[]

A byte array that represents the hash value for the assembly.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

The hashAlg parameter is null.

SecurityException

The hash value for the assembly cannot be generated.

Remarks

The assembly specified in the class constructor provides the bytes for computing the hash value. The hashAlg parameter is an object derived from a specific HashAlgorithm. The returned hash value is of the type identified by hashAlg.
