        ' Any code begins the 30-day trial.
        crypt.UnlockComponent("30-day-trial")

        ' Set the hash algorithm to "MD2"
        crypt.HashAlgorithm = "MD2"

        ' Generate some data to hash...
        Dim str As String

        Next
        TextBox1.Text = str

        ' MD2 hash the string, returning a byte array.
        Dim hashBytes() As Byte
        hashBytes = crypt.HashString(str)
