C# Convert Char to Byte (Hex representation)

Question

This seems to be an easy problem but i can't figure out.

I need to convert this character < in byte(hex representation), but if i use

byte b = Convert.ToByte('<'); 

i get 60 (decimal representation) instead of 3c.

Answer 1

60 == 0x3C.

You already have your correct answer but you're looking at it in the wrong way.

0x is the hexadecimal prefix
3C is 3 x 16 + 12
