Re: working with bits

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

if the manipulation is easy to do there is a converter from decimal to binary

Public Function DecToBin(ByVal DecVal As Double) As String
Dim a As Double
a = DecVal
For b = 1 To Int(Log(DecVal) / Log(2)) + 1
DecToBin = CDbl(a Mod 2) & DecToBin
a = CDbl(Int(a / 2))
Next b
End Function

Hi all
I have a task to test a checksum algrorithum. This requires changing a string of 12 chr's to a stream of 96 bits and then manipulating these. Currently I work in vb (vb2008). Would it be better for me to use another language (say vc++) and build a DLL to do the bit manipulating or does vb.net have some way of working with bits.
