You can convert it to a hex string with this:

Code: Select all

        Dim m As MD5 = MD5.Create()
        Dim input As Byte() = {1, 2, 3, 4} 'example byte array
        Dim hash As Byte() = m.ComputeHash(input)
        m.Clear()

        Dim hexString As String = ""
        For i As Integer = 0 To hash.Length - 1
            hexString += hash(i).ToString("X2")
        Next
        MsgBox(hexString)
