<div>
The example on the link passes a key array into the constructor of a class. &nbsp;<br />
ex. Dim myhmacMD5 As New HMACMD5(key)<br />
<br />
the example never shows how to create that class or what its doing with the key. &nbsp;Do you<br />
have any suggestions?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

If you key is a string, just do<br />
byte [] keyByte = &nbsp;System.Text.Encoding.ASCII<wbr />.GetBytes.<wbr />GetBytes(k<wbr />ey); 
</div>


If you key is a string, just do
byte [] keyByte =  System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes.GetBytes(key);

How do I use MD5 and salt to generate a token

Development in most programming languages is frequently done with an editor or integrated development environment (IDE). An IDE is a software application that provide comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger. XCode, Visual Studio, Adobe Dreamweaver and Eclipse are some of the more popular development tools, but an editor or IDE can be anything from simple text editors to sophisticated programs.

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

ASP.NET

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
