Hex-Value in Visual Basic

Question

Can someone just help me refresh my mind?

How do you specify hex values in a Visual Basic 6 / VBScript Source?

It's not 0xABCD as it is in C++, that's what I can remember... It was something similar... But what?

Try &HABCD, that's how it works for most BASIC languages.

No problem. I always knew using PowerBasic for DOS would be useful for something ;) – schnaader Jan 09 '09 at 16:14

VBScript \ VBA \ VB6 (and lower):

Dim MyValue As Integer
MyValue = &h1234

VB (.NET Framework):

Dim MyValue As Integer = &h1234

Versions are usually backwards compatible syntax-wise, you cannot always use newer syntax in older versions.

No, the other way around. For example if I want to assign a hex-value to a variable, not to encode an integer to a hex string. – BlaM Jan 09 '09 at 16:11
