Binary Number Operations

[WoundEdGoat]

Does VB .NET have any built in support for working with binary numbers or would I have to write code for it myself?

What I'm looking to do is take a pair of hex numbers (EG, &H1F [binary 11111] and &H5 [binary 101]) and merge them into &HFD [binary 11111101] and the easiest way I know of is to use binary mathematics, however I found that there is no Binary Literal support for integers.

Use &H1F etc. but what operation on &H1F and &H5 produces &HFD?

Ah heck. I can't explain it good enough. I'll just write myself a class to deal with what I need to do. Thanks anyway.

[tt]&H1F * &H8 + &H5 --> &HFD

yeah. I realized a few minutes after I posted my initial post that I could do it that way, but I still think for what I need to do that working with base 2 would be much easier. I dunno. I'll have to think about what I really need to do some more.
