how can i convert a hexadecimal float number to decimal number?
like 4E73 in hexadecimal to decimal?

Something like:

int decVal = Convert.ToInt32(myHexValue, 16);

Hope this helps

it cannot parse 4.0E+73 the number in hex has been shown in exponents notation. so it cann't convert it
any other idea

 

[jmeckley]

how the data is presented and the type of value are independent. if the value is hex then you can convert it using Convert.ToX().

it may be the value is not a hex, but a string or something else. to figure out the type do something like

var hex = GetHex();
Console.WriteLine("hex is: {0}", hex.GetType().Name);
var dec = Convert.ToDecimal(hex);
Console.WriteLine("hex decimal value is {0}", dec);

string num = "4E73";
int conv = int.Parse(num, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber);
MessageBox.Show(conv.ToString());
