MD5 Encryption

I need to create an MD5 encrypted variable to be passed to another web
technology.
the receiving end will take care of itself. However, i can't figure out how
to generate a simple hash value in asp.net VB
here is what i want to do:
given this string "hello"
create a hash value (MD5) and use a response.write to display it on screen.
that is all.
I've seen a few articals but i am looking for a simple example. I really
appreciate the help,
Thanks

private string getHash(string Value)
{
System.Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvider sec = new
System.Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvider();
byte[] encodedData = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Value);
encodedData = sec.ComputeHash(encodedData);
string retVal = "";
for (int i=0; i < encodedData.Length; i++)
retVal += encodedData[i].ToString("x2").ToLower();
return retVal;
}

I've posted a VB.NET example of the MD5 hashing syntax here:
