//  This example was created in response to a request to
//  do this:
//  XML-->byte[]-->SHA-1(byte[])-->Base64(string)

//  The output will be Base64, so set the EncodingMode:
crypt.EncodingMode = "base64";

//  It is desired to hash bytes.  Depending on the programming
//  language, strings may be Unicode (2 bytes/char).  We don't
//  want to hash Unicode.  By setting the Charset property,
//  we're telling the encryption component to first convert
//  a string to the multibyte charset indicated.
crypt.Charset = "windows-1252";

//  Set the hash algorithm:
crypt.HashAlgorithm = "sha-1";

string hashStr;
//  Hash the string:
//  Internally, this converts the string to bytes, hashes the bytes,
//  and converts the hash bytes to a Base64 encoded string:

//  Note: Any method in Chilkat Crypt that ends with "ENC" returns the
//  output bytes (i.e. hashed or encrypted) as an encoded string
//  according to the EncodingMode property, which can be "base64",
//  "hex", "url", "quoted-printable", or "html" (for HTML entities).
hashStr = crypt.HashStringENC(xmlDoc);
