Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.HashBytes method

Shows how to replace the deprecated HashBytes method. (Chilkat is moving away from the use of CkByteData.) C++

#include <CkCrypt2.h>
#include <CkByteData.h>
#include <CkBinData.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    CkCrypt2 crypt;

    crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("sha256");

    const char *path = "c:/someDir/example.dat";

    //  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    //  The HashBytes method is deprecated:

    CkByteData inData;
    inData.loadFile(path);

    CkByteData outData;

    success = crypt.HashBytes(inData,outData);

    //  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    //  Workaround.
    //  (Chilkat is moving away from using CkByteData)

    CkBinData bdIn;
    bdIn.LoadFile(path);

    crypt.put_EncodingMode("base64");
    const char *base64_hash = crypt.hashBdENC(bdIn);
    }
