String Methods returning Hex Values

[Colin Halliday]

I am experiencing something weird using Visual Studio 2005/ Visual Basic.net 2005.

When I code any string manipulation members, instead of returning an integer I receive a hex value.

Example

Dim strName as string

strName = "Hello World"



In the Immediate Window:

?strName.Length

Returns &HB instead of 11.



?strName.contai ns("Hello") returns false


?tablename.Last IndexOf("o")
&H7

Any idea what is going on???

Thanks.

Colin,

>Any idea what is going on???

It's just a debugger setting. You can toggle it by right-clicking in a
watch/locals window.
