Welcome to the forums,

I have written a program called "Conversion" a while back. It does exactly what you are looking for and more:

• Decimal to Hex
• Hex to Decimal
• Hex String to Decimal
• Decimal to Binary
• Binary to Decimal
• Float to Binary
• Ascii to Binary
• Binary to Ascii

It's an open source project. Well, back to your original question I see that you need it done in VB. My source code was written in C, but if you know how to convert C to VB, or anyone else that is a VB expert, that would be helpful.

Here is a look on how to convert Binary to Decimal:

#include <string.h>
 
int btoi(char *buf) {
    // Create local variables
    int count, tmp;
    int retValue = 0;
 
    // Get length of string
    count = strlen(buf);
 
    // Go through string one byte at a time (backwards)
    for (i = 0; i <= count; i++) {
        // If a number '1' was found
        if (buf[count-i] == '1') {
            tmp = 1;
            for (j = 1; j < i; j++)
                tmp *= 2;
            retValue += tmp;
        }
    }
 
    // Return our decimal value
    return retValue;
}

#include <string.h> int btoi(char *buf) { // Create local variables int count, tmp; int retValue = 0; // Get length of string count = strlen(buf); // Go through string one byte at a time (backwards) for (i = 0; i <= count; i++) { // If a number '1' was found if (buf[count-i] == '1') { tmp = 1; for (j = 1; j < i; j++) tmp *= 2; retValue += tmp; } } // Return our decimal value return retValue; }

*buf is your binary value in string format.

It's pretty much the syntax that will get you started. It's not hard to understand at all. I hope this gets you a head start, and good luck.
