Convert from decimal to hexidecimal?

[Adam Wike]

Is there a simple way to convert a decimal to an hexidecimal?

[Dave Kreskowiak]

Since everything is represented internally in Binary, the only "hexadecimal conversion" you're going to get would be when it's formatted into a string for display or some other human-readable purpose. That would be String.Format("{0:X}", value).

In VB.Net... dim string hex = Convert.ToString(i, 16); Or in VB6... use a textbox and three labels:

Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If KeyAscii = 13 Then
KeyAscii = 0
Label1.Caption = Hex$(Text1.Text)
If Len(Label1.Caption) < 4 Then
Label2.Caption = "00"
Label3.Caption = Label1.Caption
Else
Label2.Caption = Left$(Label1.Caption, 2)
Label3.Caption = Right$(Label1.Caption, 2)
End If
End If
End Sub

Run the program, type any integer legal number value and press ENTER.
