The following function worked without any issues in 2024.
''' <summary>
''' Returns the MD5 hash from the input.
''' </summary>
''' <param name="strToHash">Input string</param>
''' <returns></returns>
Public Shared Function ComputeMD5Hash(ByVal strToHash As String) As String
Dim md5Obj As New System.Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvider()
Dim bytesToHash() As Byte = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strToHash)
bytesToHash = md5Obj.ComputeHash(bytesToHash)
Dim strResult As String = ""
Dim b As Byte
For Each b In bytesToHash
strResult += b.ToString("x2")
Next
Return strResult
End Function
Now in 2025.0 and 2025.1 I'm getting the following error:
Error on Line 2343 : Type 'System.Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvider' in assembly 'Rule_ff4b5d2c-5e97-48c2-a624-4c1db448720e.dll, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' has been forwarded to assembly 'System.Security.Cryptography, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. Either a reference to 'System.Security.Cryptography, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' is missing from your project or the type 'System.Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvider' is missing from assembly 'System.Security.Cryptography, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.
Can someone share some insight on how to fix this? I tried playing around with different "Imports" but to no avail...
