I help clients go faster for less using serverless technologies.
For a hex literal that’s not prefixed you can quite easily convert it using int.Parse in C#:
1 2 3 | string hex = "142CBD";// this returns 1322173int intValue = int.Parse(hex, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber); |
But as you’ve probably noticed, most hex literals are prefixed with 0x (e.g. “0x142CBD”) which would throw a FormatException if you try to parse it using the above code.
In order to parse a 0x prefixed hex literal you need to use the Convert.ToInt32(string value, int fromBase) method instead:
1 2 3 | string prefixedHex = "0x142CBD";// this works, and returns 1322173int intValue = Convert.ToInt32(prefixedHex , 16); |
Whenever you’re ready, here are 3 ways I can help you:
- Production-Ready Serverless: Join 20+ AWS Heroes & Community Builders and 1000+ other students in levelling up your serverless game. This is your one-stop shop for quickly levelling up your serverless skills.
- I help clients launch product ideas, improve their development processes and upskill their teams. If you’d like to work together, then let’s get in touch.
- Join my community on Discord, ask questions, and join the discussion on all things AWS and Serverless.
Thanks for contributing to the developer community.
