Re: Integer conversion to Binary Coded Decimal

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

At the moment I seem to be doing the following:

int ------> string
string ----> char []
foreach (char c in char [])
{
c -------> byte
byte ----> binary string
binary string -----> string []
}

then combine the items in the string [] into 8 character strings and convert
to hex. I am getting the conversion but it seems like a lot of work for
something I thought the framework would provide.

Any thoughts?

Hmmm...
What exactly do you mean with a smart way? Whether there's a function in
the framework doing it for you? I guess ... no. But I'm not sure here.

On the other hand: Why worrying about a function that requires 10 lines
of code?

Stefan

Hi All,

I work with communications protocols (namely TCPIP) and I have been asked to
transmit the length of a message in Binary Coded Decimal. For example a
message of length (int) 356 will be transmitted as 0x03, 0x56.

Is there a smart way to to this?

Cheers,
Kenney
