SchemaHasher 1.0.0

SchemaHasher 1.0.0 proves itself to be a beneficial as well as advanced utility that allows for computing a 16-byte hash (returned as a guid) to uniquely fingerprint and identify an ADO.NET DataSet schema. Useful for identifying and tracking schema versions automatically.

SchemaHasher fulfilled our need for a way to keep track of schema versions and modifications with typed ADO.NET DataSet objects. By programmatically computing a schema version, it eliminates the extra step and potential error source of defining one manually as meta-data. It also permits a version to be computed for an XML snapshot of a DataSet that contains a schema, which allows things like database backups to be intrinsically versioned.

Major Features:

1. Get unique hash as Guid for a DataSet, typed or untyped
2. DataSetConventions contains conventions that can be used to exclude columns from a schema
