What I'm saying is the Framework is not returning anything "in hex". An integer value is an integer value. When displayed as a string it may differ. — user7116, Aug 04 '12 at 14:15

You're looking at the value in a debugger. Integer values are not stored "in hex" or even "in decimal". 3 is stored in binary, but viewed based on your debugger settings.

You can disable hexadecimal viewing by right clicking in the Watch or Immediate view and deselecting Hexadecimal Display.
