(PowerShell) SHA256 Hash the Bytes Represented in a Hex String
Demonstrates how to compute the SHA256 hash of the bytes represented by a hexidecimal encoded string, and return the hash bytes as an hex encoded string.

# This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
# We wish to compute the SHA256 hash of the bytes 0x6C 0xF8 0xEA 0x51 0xE4 0xE0 0xF5 0x99 0xCF ...

$bd = New-Object Chilkat.BinData
$success = $bd.AppendEncoded($src,"hex")
# The bd now contains the bytes 0x6C 0xF8 0xEA 0x51 0xE4 0xE0 0xF5 0x99 0xCF ...
$crypt = New-Object Chilkat.Crypt2
$crypt.HashAlgorithm = "sha256"
$crypt.EncodingMode = "hex"
# Hash the bytes contained in bd, and return the 32-byte SHA256 hash as a hexidecimal encoded string.
$result = $crypt.HashBdENC($bd)
