How to convert a byte array (MD5 hash) into a string (36 chars)?

Question

I\'ve got a byte array that was created using a hash function. I would like to convert this array into a string. So far so good, it will give me hexadecimal string.

If you want a shorter string and can accept [a-zA-Z0-9] and + and / then look at Convert.ToBase64String
