Integers Displayed as Hex in Visual Studio .NETVisual Studio .NET Mystery Solved |   | Did you ever hover your mouse over an Integer and have the tool tip display the value in Hex? I have, a couple of times, and wondered, "What is going on?"
In desperation, I tried restarting Visual Studio, and even resorted to rebooting only to find the same thing happening to me. I wondered if I needed to reinstall Visual Studio, please nooooooooooo!
Nope, I finally remembered what I did the last time it happened to me. Just go to the Tools Options Dialog, Debugging tab and uncheck the Hexadecimal Display check box. I have no idea how it got checked as I know I did not do it. It happened to me yesterday (not the first time), while in a debugging session and I had been no where near the Options diallog, much less changing to Hex display.
I read binarry, and add, subtract, multiply, and divide in Octal (showing my age), but I could never spell EBCDIC and never bothered to try to learn HEX, being a pampered VB Programmer until 3 years ago when I had to bite the bullet and learn C#.
Maybe it won't happen to you, but if it does, maybe a search in Google will bring you here and solve the mystery. |
