getPasswordHash.cs

using System.Security.Cryptography;

public byte[] GetPasswordHash(string username, string password, string salt)
{
    // get salted byte[] buffer, containing username, password and some (constant) salt
    byte[] buffer;
    using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
    using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(stream))
    {
        writer.Write(salt);
        writer.Write(username);
        writer.Write(password);
        writer.Flush();

        buffer = stream.ToArray();
    }

    // create a hash
    SHA1 sha1 = SHA1.Create();
    return sha1.ComputeHash(buffer);
}
