It’s easy to convert bases if you use the Convert class’s ToInt64 and ToString methods. For example, the following statement parses the text in the TextBox named source and saves the result in the long variable value. The “16” means the method should parse the text as a base 16 (hexadecimal) value.
value = Convert.ToInt64(source.Text, 16);
The following code does the opposite: it converts the value in variable value into a hexadecimal string and displays it in the TextBox named txtHexadecimal.
txtHexadecimal.Text = Convert.ToString(value, 16)
To parse and display values in other bases, simply replace 16 with the base: 8 for octal and 2 for binary.
I told you it was easy!



Hi guys,
I use this hex to decimal converter and this decimal to hex converter to convert data
They are pretty good!
Hope this help

Some have tried the hex to decimal converter and it seems up to the task. Some even say that they are amazing. Could be useful to try.

Hey thanks this is awesome! This eliminated so much useless code 🙂
Thanks for the source code. You saved my day!
Hello.
I know this is very late but when I use this method: “txtHexadecimal.Text = Convert.ToString(value, 16)”, I get the
“CS1501 C# No overload for method ‘ToString’ takes 2 arguments”
error, how can I change this??
Btw. I am using this code to make a bin, dec, hex & oct converter in WPF C#
I don’t know why it would do that. Did you download the example or did you just copy and paste this piece of code into your program? If you copied and pasted, is value a long in your program?
If you can’t figure it out, email me and I’ll take a look.
