Covert String or Object to Hex

  Sorry for that, the link you sent, there are so much stuff in ther...I just kinda got lost.....OOps

  All sorts of stuff :-)

  It looks like you want property.Value.ToString("X"); from the docs.  string.Format("{0}", property.Value); will do ToString, and you can obviously put other constant info in there, but I'm sure you can also format that way, but this part of the docs does not show how, neither does the string.Format docs.

  int i = 6;

  i.ToString("X");

  this definately works. What were you doing You should also read the links I provided.

  Sorry, I'm really being annoyin here...

  When I do something like this,

  object var = string.Format("{0}", property.Value);

  I still get the string as you said, then how can I get the hex value out of it......

  Hey Sorry what i'm doing wrong here...

  object var = property.Value;

  string val = var.ToString();

  string value = string.Format(val, 1);

  In C#, it's string.Format, and items to format are specified as {0}, {1}, etc. There are also format specifiers, including ones for hex.

  Thats where It was, because if you see the property .ToString() it doesnt allow any overloaded functions, so ("X") doesn't work.....
  

• Wolfram Menzel

  Like I said, I'm not sure, but the docs I linked you to say you should do this instead:

  property.Value.ToString("X");

  Awesome, thanks...I was being stupid....

  this works...

  int var = Convert.ToInt32(property.Value);

  string value = var.ToString("X");

  Oops - sorry *blush*

  Re-reading the example, you can't do this on an object, you need to convert it to an int or a double first.

  You can use int.TryParse to convert it and at the same time make sure it can be converted.

  I tried this way...still can't have overloaded function..

  int var = Convert.ToInt32(property.Value.ToString());

  int var1 = int.Parse(property.Value.ToString());

  Doesn't work.....
