I am looking codes for encrypting the password field in my database. I am using SQL Yog in creating the database.
This is what i did..
1. I already type my password in the db.
2. Now in my log in form submit button
I use this code in so that as i click the button it will encrypt the password field::
this is my code::

I import..........
Imports System.Security.Cryptography
Imports System.Text

then in my code ...

Dim strText As String = TextBox1.Text
Dim bytHashedData As Byte()
Dim encoder As New utf8encoding()
Dim md5Hasher As New MD5CryptoServiceProvider


bytHashedData = md5Hasher.ComputeHash(encoder.GetBytes(strText))
bytHashedData = md5Hasher.ComputeHash(encoder.GetBytes(strText & txtUserName.Text))...


I got this in a tutorial of dreamincode.com.
but I don't know how to make it work..
it makes no effect in my database.

what i did to make it wrong.
no errors displays it runs properly but takes no effect..

Look at your second ComputeHash - your using the username and you just overwrote the variable from the previous line??? PLease use code tags. We also can't see where your saving the data either.

Here is my encryption that looks like what your using. I would use the CipherMode.CBC on both encryption and decryption.
