Thanks Hernan for your answer.

You pointed right the issue. The problem was my convert to hex value
with Convert.ToString(b, 16).

I have not tested your solution as I fixed the issue just before your
post :-) by using String.Format

Anyway I guess this can be relevant to other folks...

Here is the new code with

private string Hash(string toHash)
{
        string hashed = "";

        SHA1 sha1 = new SHA1CryptoServiceProvider();
        byte[] hash =
sha1.ComputeHash(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(toHash));
                        
        foreach(byte b in hash)
                hashed += String.Format("{0,2:X2}", b);

        return hashed;
}

Cheers
Julius
