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

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.
