hex

How can I convert the following?

2934 (integer) to B76 (hex)

Let me explain what I am trying to do. I have User IDs in my database that are stored as integers. Rather than having users reference their IDs I want to let them use the hex value. The main reason is because it's shorter.

So not only do I need to go from integer to hex but I also need to go from hex to integer.

Is there an easy way to do this in C#?

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language.

In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
