SHA1 Encoding

rocatis

I'm searching for a component to do SHA1 encoding of a string (to be used with a webservice).

Using the automation server mscorlib.dll I have access to some SHA1 Classes, but none of them have any Methods or Properties.

Using the DotNet assembly System.Security, I believe I should be able to find something called System.Security.Cryptography.Sha1, but it isn't there.

Finally I tried to find an external (3rd party) component, but they're all very old, not downloadable, won't run on 64 bit etc. etc.

In short: help! Best solution gets a beer on Techdays!

System.Security.Cryptography.Sha1 is in mscorlib

OBJECT Codeunit 50111 SH1
{
OBJECT-PROPERTIES
{
Date=13.11.14;
Time=15:53:31;
Modified=Yes;
Version List=Dynamics.is;
}
PROPERTIES
{
OnRun=BEGIN
SH1.Create;
END;

}
CODE
{
VAR
SH1@1100408000 : DotNet "'mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.System.Security.Cryptography.SHA1";

BEGIN
END.
}
}

Well, it's the right component! (although you need to use "SH1 := SH1.Create").

Unfortunately, the ComputeHash method, which I believe is the one to use, returns an unsupported variable type (byte array).

So I'm basically back to square one

Heureka!

This does the trick!
