Save Encrypted Passwords To Database

Viewed: 453

Version: Framework 1.1

It's often useful for applications to encrypt data before saving it to the database. Such a situation occurs when adding a new user record, and for security reasons, you do not want their password to be readable directly from the database.

Import/Using Directives

using System.Security.Cryptography;

public override void GetUIData()
{
    base.GetUIData();
    UsersRecord record = this.GetRecord();
    string password = record.Password+record.UserID;
    HashAlgorithm mhash = new SHA1CryptoServiceProvider();
    byte[] bytValue = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(password);
    byte[] bytHash = mhash.ComputeHash(bytValue);
    mhash.Clear();
    record.Password = Convert.ToBase64String(bytHash);
}
