.Net library for verifying user password?

creating a .net application that will need to check a user against my wordpress database of users, but how do i verify the passwords?

I understand that wordpress can also store just md5 hashes, i’ve tried that and it works (by manually changing the password in phpMyAdmin to a md5 hash), but i don’t want to use md5.

Is there any documentation or library available on exactly how to generate the password hash to compare it to the password stored in the database?

Thanks
