ToString  X2   prints the input in Hexadecimal

User · Answer

It formats the string as two uppercase hexadecimal characters   In more depth  the argument  X2  is a  format string  that tells the ToString   method how it should format the string  In this case   X2  indicates the string should be formatted in Hexadecimal    byte ToString   without any arguments returns the number in its natural decimal representation  with no padding   Microsoft documents the standard numeric format strings which generally work with all primitive numeric types  ToString   methods  This same pattern is used for other types as well  for example  standard date time format strings can be used with DateTime ToString
