Compare two files with hash values in CSharp
Description
The following code shows how to compare two files with hash values.
Example
//from w ww . j a va2s .co m
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
static class MainClass{
static void Main(string[] args) {
using (HashAlgorithm hashAlg = HashAlgorithm.Create()) {
using (FileStream fsA = new FileStream("c:\\test.txt", FileMode.Open),
fsB = new FileStream("c:\\test1.txt", FileMode.Open)){
// Calculate the hash for the files.
byte[] hashBytesA = hashAlg.ComputeHash(fsA);
byte[] hashBytesB = hashAlg.ComputeHash(fsB);
// Compare the hashes.
if (BitConverter.ToString(hashBytesA) == BitConverter.ToString(hashBytesB))
{
Console.WriteLine("Files match.");
} else {
Console.WriteLine("No match.");
}
}
}
}
