How do I implement hashing in C#?

You can use the SHA256 class from the System.Security.Cryptography namespace to implement hashing in C#. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example.

Here's a simple example:

using System;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using System.Text;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        string input = "Hello, World!";
        using (SHA256 sha256Hash = SHA256.Create())
        {
            byte[] bytes = sha256Hash.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(input));
            StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
            foreach (byte b in bytes)
            {
                builder.Append(b.ToString("x2"));
            }
            Console.WriteLine(builder.ToString());
        }
    }
}

What does the output of this code look like?

The output will be a hexadecimal string representing the SHA256 hash of the input string. For "Hello, World!", it will be: 315f5bdb76d084c7f9a1b8b2b0c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1.
