value assignment to integer datatype in c#

Question

In a C# application, int data type variable has been assigned with value 0x200. I didn't understand what kind of format it is. Also, if I try to write same statement in vb.net it gives me an error. Pls help

the VB version is documented here. In your case it should be &H200 — Cristian Lupascu

0x means the following value (in this case 200) is in HEX. 200 Hex is equal to 512 decimal

In C#

int i=0x200;

is equivalent to

int i=512;

In VB.net this can be written as

Dim x=512

OR

Dim x = &H200

In C#

int x = 0x200;
Console.WriteLine(x);

In VB.NET

Dim x = &H200
Console.WriteLine(x)

It is just an assignement of a constant expressed with the Hexadecimal notation to a variable

For code conversion I recommend something like developerFusion Code Converter, it is great for putting a code snippet/example you find on the web in C# and having it convert to VB.NET. It will also convert from VB.NET to C#, as well as support for converting Python or Ruby (the .NET implementations of those being IronPython and IronRuby).
