dear All,
I am creating a program that generate id for any incoming material lot using hexadecimal ID, Since the number of incoming material lot increasing rapidly, we plan to move to a new ID number with alphanumeric(0-9,A-Z).
The convert class doesn't support the base 36 type. Does anyone have any idea for my problem Any help is very appreciated.
Thank you
regards
Freddy Halim

convert from decimal(base-10) to alphanumeric(base-36)

If you need any help converting from base 36 -> base 10 just ask. But it shouldn't be difficult. :)

check if works for you:
public String ConvertToBase(int num, int nbase)
{
String chars = "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
// check if we can convert to another base
if(nbase < 2 || nbase > chars.Length)
return "";
int r;
String newNumber = "";
// in r we have the offset of the char that was converted to the new base
while(num >= nbase)
{
r = num % nbase;
newNumber = chars[r] + newNumber;
num = num / nbase;
}
// the last number to convert
newNumber = chars[num] + newNumber;
return newNumber;
}

Actually, you may want to use the standard Base-40 encoding (which is supported by .Net)
for(long i = 100000; i < 200000; ++i){
string enc = Convert.ToBase64String(BitConverter.GetBytes(i));
long dec = BitConverter.ToInt64(Convert.FromBase64String(enc), 0);
Console.WriteLine("From {0}, to {1}, to {2}", i, enc, dec);
}

n0n4m3,
I was hoping that you could help me by posting the code to convert from base-36 to base-10
Thanks in advance,

Dear n0n4me,
Yeah its works. Looking at your code, i think i can start create the opposite conversion from base36 to base10 too.
Thank you for your help. Your help is very appreciated and invaluable for me.
Warmest Regards,
