Getting hashbytes from XML

Hello
How do you get hash bytes from XML?
checksum() and hashBytes() don't work with XML AS IS. I am handling legal
document. I don't want additional convert like nvarchar or something. I
just want to get the hashbytes from pure XML or stream as is.
Currently I am using CLR, but I think there can be shorter way to do that.
Not only hash but also checksum will do because the computing occurs in safe
place, the DB.
public static byte[] toHash(SqlXml sqx)
{
XmlDocument doc=new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(sqx.CreateReader());
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
doc.Save(ms);
ms.Position = 0;
BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(ms);
byte[] bs = br.ReadBytes(Int32.Parse(ms.Length.ToString()));
SHA1Managed sha = new SHA1Managed();
byte[] hash = sha.ComputeHash(bs);
return (hash);
}This morning I got smarter and shortened the code into 3 lines.

Callere is dbo.toHash(convert(varbinary(max), @.xml))
I am even considering remove the CLR. Then the code may be,
hashBytes('sha1', convert(varbinary(max), @.xml))
But I discovered dotnet sha1 and SQL Server sha1 return different result.
Even the lengths of the results are different. I prefered dotnet, but I am
studying still, and any recommandation will be appreciated.
