Try spelling it right. its "endian," referring to the end of the significant bit. A quick google search should do you just fine. -- modified at 14:19 Wednesday 2nd August, 2006

The IPAddress class provides methods with that functionality for several types.

string str = "000CB8B8"; char[] ch=str.ToCharArray(); string strev = ""; for (int i = (ch.Length-1); i >= 0; i--) { strev += ch[i].ToString(); } reversed string will be on strev

Reversing the nibbles won't correctly change the endianess of the number. You have to reverse the bytes:

string number = "000CB8B8";

string swapped = string.Empty;
for (int i = number.Length - 2; i >= 0; i -= 2) {
swapped += number.Substring(i, 2);
}

--- b { font-weight: normal; }
