Compute hash-value of entered value when insert or update using sql server 2008 by triggers

I have a table with two column开发者_StackOverflow社区s {FlatContent, HashedContent}. Now I want to automatically compute the hash value of FlatContent when new row was inserted or an existing row was updated.

Thanks if anybody can help me ;)

ALTER TABLE YourTable
    ADD HashedContent AS HashBytes('SHA1', FlatContent) PERSISTED
