C# WEB: Submit textbox value as hex

[Eleven]

Hi,

I'm trying to get a value from a textbox then save it to the database as a hex number. Here's what I have so far, but its totally wrong.. it converts the value I enter in the textbox to a hex number, but i want it to submit the exact value that's in the textbox.

DAL.CashTrack.Terminals addTerm = new DAL.CashTrack.Terminals();
addTerm.FkTerminalKey = Convert.ToInt64(txtTermKey.Text, 16);
.
.
.
addTerm.MarkNew();
addTerm.Save();
 

I'd really appreciate your help.
Oh and by the way.. the value has to start with 0x

Saw it on EE so I can't take credit for it, but try this out:


using System.Text;

...

StringBuilder hex = new StringBuilder();

byte[] bytes = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(textBox1.Text);

foreach (byte b in bytes)
hex.Append(" " + b.ToString("X"));

label1.Text = hex.ToString();



Regards,

Matt
