The SQL Server and .Net equivalent of PHP and MySQL's SHA1 function

In PHP and MySql there is an sha1(str) function which generates an sha1 hash of a string. Their usages are simple: <?php echo sha1('password'); ?> //Outputs:5baa61e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8 mysql> select sha1('password'); +------------------------------------------+ | sha1('password') | +------------------------------------------+ | 5baa61e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8 | +------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Similarly, .Net has an SHA1 method within the System.Security.Cryptography  namespace which can be used in the following manner to generate the same hash. public static string Sha1(string hashStr, Encoding encoding) { var sha1 = new System.Security.Cryptography.SHA1CryptoServiceProvider(); var hash = sha1.ComputeHash(encoding.GetBytes(hashStr)); return BitConverter.ToString(hash).Replace("-", ""); } Console.WriteLine(S

AutoItX4Java - Java AutoIt Bridge

AutoIt is a very useful automation scripting language for Microsoft Windows. It allows for GUI automation using a very simple syntax and can be useful for testing applications. It is packaged with AutoItX which supports accessing AutoIt functions through COM objects. I just created a new project on Google Code for Java AutoItX bindings. The project is called AutoItX4Java and uses the JACOB Java COM Bridge to access AutoItX functions. Currently the project is in an unstable state but hopefully as time goes on things will get better tested. Using AutoItX4Java is simple: Download JACOB . Download and install AutoIt . (or register the dll. See below) Add jacob.jar and autoitx4java.jar to your library path. Place the jacob-1.15-M4-x64.dll file in your library path. A simple example of using this library is below: File file = new File("lib", "jacob-1.15-M4-x64.dll"); //path to the jacob dll System.setProperty(LibraryLoader.JACOB_DLL_PATH, file
