Is there a C#/.NET standard implementation of CRC?

Question

I know that implementations exist for SHA-1 and SHA-256 in System.Security.Cryptography.

Is there anything built in that can compute CRC hashes?

I'm aware of that post. I googled it FIRST, not like a jackwad who posts things without first looking. That wasn't my question. Is there certainly not a built-in facility or is it possible that he is a human being and missed something (like we all do sometimes). — Pugz, Aug 11 '14 at 19:15
Seriously, who is downvoting my question? This is crap. It's a totally valid question. — Pugz, Aug 11 '14 at 19:16
You can avoid the downvotes by showing your prior research, and save us some time by not having us repeat the same research. — Robert Harvey, Aug 11 '14 at 19:17
Does it not stand to reason that on a board like this people aren't stupid enough to post things without first doing something as simple as a Google search? I mean really... — Pugz, Aug 11 '14 at 19:18
Google-fu on MSDN is pretty good. If you Google CRC32, and it doesn't show up in the first page of Google Search Results on MSDN, then there's probably not a built-in function to do it. — Robert Harvey, Aug 11 '14 at 19:18
The first thing we're going to do for a question like this is to Google it, and find the plethora of external solutions that already exist. So no, we don't just make the assumption that you've already done this. — Robert Harvey, Aug 11 '14 at 19:19

I don't think there is one built into the .NET Framework. Use an open source version such as Damien Guard's library.
