byte.ToString("X2") doesn ot work on MF

[Barbudor]

Hello

Snowing on Paris today, so stay inside NetMF’ing …

I have an problem with trying to print a byte as hex.

On PC :

byte x = 0xA5;
Console.WriteLine("Value = " + x.ToString("X2"));

works as expected

While on my Panda II

byte x = 0xA5;
Debug.Print("Value = " + x.ToString("X2"));

breaks on an Exception

#### Exception System.ArgumentException - 0x00000000 (1) ####
#### Message: 
#### System.Number::ValidateFormat [IP: 0085] ####
#### System.Number::Format [IP: 0008] ####
#### System.Byte::ToString [IP: 000d] ####
#### test_mf.Program::Main [IP: 0012] ####

Any other suggestion to print as hex ?

Thanks

Merci collègue

It’s a pity that MS stripped this out of NetMF…

I think that hexadecimal display is more for “internal use” to programmers. It’s not meant to be used by customers or end-users.
What about a 0x23 cents cappucino at the coffee dispenser or 0xE6 V at the wall plug ?

I think this was added to the NET MF 4.2…
