Viewing Bitstrings in Memory

[Tadeusz Westawic]

Hello Everyone, I run VS.net I open debug mem window and only if I look at my data as BYTE do the bits appear in their native order. When I wish to view longer bitstrings, the bytes and nibbles get swapped around, as if ready to go to the ALU, is this so? When I overlay with DWORD or something 'logical' rather than 'numeric', the bitstring remains scrambled as described. And so I look-up logical data types and find that there are no longer WORDS and DWORDS supported as logical entities but are supported as signed and unsigned integers. Did I miss something here? Is there no way to view say, rows of 6 to 8 bytes each in raw storage mode, without intervening 0x's? When did logical types become integers? Does this same scheme also apply in assembler under VS? ty
