Board index » Visual Studio » Converting value to HEX

Visual Studio282
I have a program that saves values in the following format:

4096,4095,4044,3900,3812,........... to a text file.



I need to know how to convert the 4096 into a HEX value in this

format: 0x40 + 0x96. This format require me to seperate the Hi bits

and Lo bits.



Can anyone help me out?


-

You can use the Hex function to convert decimal to Hex.



To seperate hi and lo byte, there are quite a few sample code on the net. I

found the following:



Public Function HiByte(ByVal wParam As Integer)

HiByte = wParam \ &H100 And &HFF&

End Function

Public Function LoByte(ByVal wParam As Integer)

LoByte = wParam And &HFF&

End Function



See if it helps

That's the word value that you want to split into two bytes.





Here's another method:



Dim bytes As Byte() = BitConverter.GetBytes(3900)



bytes(0) contains low byte and bytes(1) contains high byte.

You render the value into a string and disply the string.



Example:



MyLabel.Text = bytes(0).ToString()
