Using Numeric Format Strings in C# to output bytes with leading Zeros (for ex-VB developers)

If you want your byte to be in hex format and not drop leading zeros, use “X2”.

For example: 0x2.ToString(”X2”)

...or something like that... ;)

I don't get it. What does "hex" mean? Isn't that some sort of curse or something? ;)
