Question

I want to read 8 byte from a file.

StreamReader^ sr = gcnew StreamReader( "ReadMe.txt" );
long convert = 0;
array<Char>^c = nullptr;

while ( sr->Peek() >= 0 )
{    
   c = gcnew array<Char>(8);

   sr->Read( c, 0, c->Length );

   convert = (long) c; //<- the problem

   Console::WriteLine( c );
   Console::WriteLine( convert ); 
}

but i get this output:

EA00A10C <- same as the file

37745844 <- wrong (even if convert dec to hex)

Note:
atoi does not take the type array, i did not found a array.ToInt function …

You are probably looking for

System::Int32::Parse(c, NumberStyles::HexNumber)
