Question

I have a form with two text boxes, in one I want to show a .txt file in text format and in the other text box I want to show the same text but in hex. I have no idea how to do this as programming isn’t a strong point of mine. Also it has to be in whole columns and the hex box should show the value of each character in the form 0xNN. In case anyone recognizes this I did ask a similar question earlier today, but have since progressed with some of it. I’m using Visual C# Express Edition 2008 obviously dealing with C#.

        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        foreach (char character in File.ReadAllText("input.txt").ToCharArray())
        { //convert the string to array of bytes
            sb.Append("0x"+      ///"0x" prefix
               ((int)character). //convert char to int
               ToString("X2"));  //generate string with two hex digit.
            sb.Append("\n");         //new line after each converted char
        }

        TextBox1.Text = sb.ToString(); //set text box text
