This will do what you're asking. It will convert an Integer to a Binary
String representation:
Function ToBin(ByVal i As Integer) As String
Dim BinaryDigits() As String = {"0000", "0001", "0010", "0011", _
"0100", "0101", "0110", "0111", _
"1000", "1001", "1010", "1011", _
"1100", "1101", "1110", "1111"}
Dim HexDigits As String = "0123456789abcdef"
Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder(256)
Dim strHex As String = Hex(i).ToLower()
For Each c As Char In strHex
sb.Append(BinaryDigits(HexDigits.IndexOf(c)))
Next
Return (sb.ToString())
End Function
Other than for Display Purposes (assuming you need to view an integer on
your screen in Binary format), there is no added value to this function.

oh..ya.i wan to pass it as a string....then separate them according to the
attributes...may know how to do it?

Are you trying to pass this as a string? If so, what's the advantage to
converting it to binary first? The only advantage to converting your
items
and "packing" them into binary format would be the space savings and
faster
speed of transmission over the wire. If you're converting them to a
String
of "1" and "0" characters, you're completely defeating any space or speed
enhancements.
