C# (Overflow in Hex? or ASCII?)

1 New Member
This C# program is use to convert decimal to hex and send through serial port in ASCII characters. For example: I try to send a string variable in Hex format which i need to convert to a standart ASCII string; eg "70d9b7" where "b7" is the checksum of 2's complement. i have some problem in convert the "d9" and "b7" to the correct ASCII string as the ASCII is overflow from 8 till F, i think... If anyone can help me to debug the problem, i would be very grateful... Thanks a lot...

Converting decimal to hex shouldn't be to much trouble.
The second part is converting the hex to ASCII and sending it.
Each hex digit can be represented on 4 bits, so an ASCII character which takes up 8 bits can store 2 hex digits.

So, if you have let's say 2AC1 in hex, that means 001010101100000 1 in binary which results in two ASCII characters: *┴(codes 42 and 193 in decimal).

integers have their .ToString() overloaded to take in "X" which will output a string representation of the number in hex

[code]
int a=255;
string myhex=a.ToStrin g("X");
//myhex is now "FF"

Likewise, the int.Parse() is overloaded to take in a string representation of a number in hex digits.

In my program, the caculated value is supposed to be no more than the constant named MAXINT,otherwise, overflow error will be informed.however, I cannot test if the value exceeds MAXINT within the integer scope smaller than MAXINT,so I want to seek a measure to test the excess without the value's comparing to MAXINT. Please let me know if you have a good idea. THX.

Is it possible to use some C or compiler extension to catch integer overflow? The situation is as follows: I use C as target language for compiled Seed7 programs. For integer computions the C type 'long' is used. That way native C speed can be reached. Now I want to experiment with raising a Seed7 exception (which is emulated with setjmp(), longjmp() in C) for integer
