i've a DWORD hex value in the registry key.

i can read the key and write to event log, however it writes in "decimal"
format.

how can i ensure it is read as per hex format ?

A DWORD has a value, but it does not have a format, so it's neither Hex nor
decimal. Strings do have a format.

value.ToString("X8")

converts to a string in hex format.

The value is read. The value has no format.

James,

The integers.tostring("x") will convert the number to hexidecimal
