SHA-2, is it in .NET?

[Dave Shaw]

Hi, I have been looking into implementing SHA-2 Hashing into my application, but I am unsure if it is available in the .NET Framework. I have read conflicting info on the Net; some says that the SHA256, 384 and 512 are different bit strenght versions of SHA-1 and some say SHA-2. If not does anyone have a C# implementation of SHA-2?
