Both facts (using SHA256 and being removed by antivirus) are not corelated. It may be tha actions you are trying to execute with your executable which trigger the antivirus response.
Could you tell us what and how your application is doing?

Sir This code use in my application ..

public static string GenerateSHA256String(string inputString)
{
SHA256 sha256 = SHA256Managed.Create();
byte[] bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(inputString);
byte[] hash = sha256.ComputeHash(bytes);
return GetStringFromHash(hash);
}

It is unlikely that this code block is the one responsible for the antivirus-triggering. What makes you think it is?

I am just created new project for sha256 testing .. not any more code .. in class just one class and one form .. i am run my application work then press close btn then antivirus detected

This cannot be the only code. This is a static method which is only executed when it is called. So, there must be some other code which calls it. The content of the method handling the click of the close-button would be more relevant to get a clue about what is going on.

Button click -> MessageBox.show(call this class method );

Data encryption work 100% right but antivirus problem

Close btn means default Red cross not extra btn

Then it would be the form-close handler. Analyzing antivirus' log may yield some interesting information, too.

There is nothing we can do.
Your app either is infected, or has been falsely detected by your antivirus. You need to talk to the antivirus manufacturer, and see if they can verify your app as virus free and tweak their software to no longer provide a false positive.

We can't do anything like that for you!
