Computing MD5SUM of large files in C#
- by spkhaira
I am using following code to compute MD5SUM of a file -
byte[] b = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(file);
string sum = BitConverter.ToString(new MD5CryptoServiceProvider().ComputeHash(b));
This works fine normally, but if I encounter a large file (~1GB) - e.g. an iso image or a DVD VOB file - I get an Out of Memory exception.
Though, I am able to compute the MD5SUM in cygwin for the same file in about 10secs.
Please suggest how can I get this to work for big files in my program.
Thanks
