Convert integer to hexadecimal and back again

Question

How can I convert the following   2934  integer   to   B76  hex   Let me explain what I am trying to do  I have User IDs in my database that are stored as integers  Rather than having users reference their IDs I want to let them use the hex value  The main reason is because it s shorter   So not only do I need to go from integer to hex but I also need to go from hex to integer   Is there an easy way to do this in C

string HexFromID int ID        return ID ToString  X       int IDFromHex string HexID        return int Parse HexID  System Globalization NumberStyles HexNumber       I really question the value of this  though   You re stated goal is to make the value shorter  which it will  but that isn t a goal in itself   You really mean either make it easier to remember or easier to type   If you mean easier to remember  then you re taking a step backwards   We know it s still the same size  just encoded differently   But your users won t know that the letters are restricted to  A-F   and so the ID will occupy the same conceptual space for them as if the letter  A-Z  were allowed   So instead of being like memorizing a telephone number  it s more like memorizing a GUID  of equivalent length    If you mean typing  instead of being able to use the keypad the user now must use the main part of the keyboard   It s likely to be more difficult to type  because it won t be a word their fingers recognize   A much better option is to actually let them pick a real username
