Generate SHA1 checksum of a file

first you add System.Security.Cryptography namespace to your project

public string GetSha1Hash(string filePath)
    {
        using (FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(filePath))
        {
            SHA1 sha = new SHA1Managed();
            return BitConverter.ToString(sha.ComputeHash(fs));
        }
    }

Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea? Let me know.
