Convert Hex String to Long/Decimals?

[Chua Wen Ching]

I have a problem. But on .NET 1.1

My Scenario:
Actually I will have a string of hexadecimals read from a xml file. Then
from the hexadecimals, i will add 1 value whenever i made any modifications.
But just i do not how to get started. It is like an incremental hexadecimals.

I have a string of hex.

string strHex = "0100000000 FF";

I want to convert this Hex to decimals, just like the windows calculate,
when you type FF in Hex and click on Dec radio button, it will change to 255.

I tried string.Format(" {0:d}", strHex);

I tried Convert.ToDecim al or Convert.ToInt64

But i still cannot find a solution?

----

I know how to convert long to hex. Like this.
for (long x = 000000000000; x <= 281474976710655 ; x++)

{

Console.WriteLi ne(string.Forma t("{0:x12}", x));

Console.ReadLin e();

}

But i do not know how to do the opposite? Anyone can help me please?

Thanks.

Hi,

you could use this:
int number;
string strHex = "0100000000 FF";
number = Convert.ToInt32 ("FF", 16);
// ..... some operation maybe
// number++
strHex = number.ToString ("X");

This works, but it doesn't output leading zeros.

Try the following:

Int64.Parse("01 00000000FF",Sys tem.Globalizati on.NumberStyles .HexNumber)

Ooops
you should use long instead of int and ToInt64 instead of ToInt32.
otherwise your string value is to big.
My Example would work up to "7FFFFFFF"
