compress int to shorter char array (e.g. 12345 --> 3a2)

[M 2000]

Hello I want to reduce the length of an integer number to transmit the number. e.g. I have an number e.g. 123456789 and I want to compress it to something like 3a34z1 Is there a standard solution in C#/.net for that? Thanks and best regards, Martin

What kind of algorithm is that ?

Why don^t you just send the integer in stead of a string representation of the number?

Because it is a long number and I have to pass it manually, e.g. by telephone. So the main target of the algorithm I am looking for is to shorten the integer.

You can output it to hex, or you can search for the Base36 number article here on CP.**
