What am I missing here ?

I'm sure that this is something very simple.

I need to convert a string of a decimal number to a string of the
equivalent hex value so that "10" should equate to "0A", and so on.

With the following code

int nLen;
string cRet;

nLen = 10
cRet = int.Parse( nLen.ToString() ,
System.Globaliz ation.NumberSty les.HexNumber );

cRet is assigned a value of "16". I'm reading into this that the value
is being treated as if it's already a hex value, and is being converted
back to decimal - the reverse of what I want to do.

What am I missing here? Nothing is jumping out at me from the help
files. What class and method do I use for this?

Gary,
I need to convert a string of a decimal number to a string of the
equivalent hex value so that "10" should equate to "0A", and so on.


Try

Int32.Parse( "10" ).ToString( "X" );

Pad with zeros as needed.

Why are you parsing at all? All you need is formatting:

int nLen = 10;
string cRet = int.ToString ("X");

I'm concerned that with all the focus on obj$func binding, &closures, and other not-so-pretty details of Prothon, that we are missing what is really good - the simplification of classes. There are a number of aspects to this simplification, but for me the unification of methods and functions is the biggest benefit. All methods look like functions (which students already understand). Prototypes (classes) look like modules. This will...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
