>>i'm doing some work in C# and need to have a working version of a method that correctly translates the sys(2007,"foo") to the same value in c# that it calculates using the built-in vfp method. does anyone have any ideas or code for sys(2007) in c#.

>SYS(2007) generates a CRC16 digest by default, optionally a CRC32 digest. There seem to be plenty of hits if you Google [crc32 c#], for example.
I did a sys(2007, "foo") which gave me 25354.... I've tried 2 of the crc16 methods on the web and they don't return that number. So there's something else afoot here.
