Robs Programming Junk: VB.NET: Base 36 Function

Friday, April 21, 2006

My office frequently uses BASE36 for naming of transactions and files. This is a base36 function in VB.NET. Simply passing in the integer will return the BASE36 value for it. I wrote this function as I was not aware of any way to natively do this in .NET. I have searched the net high and low for something like this but wasnt able to find one. Hopefully somone else will make use of it.

include_once('/home/rwmech/public_html/robsprogrammingjunk/geshi/geshi.php');

$source = <<
Private Function Base36(ByVal intNumber As Int32) As String
Dim intNum As Int32
Dim strSum As String
Dim intCarry As Int32
Dim intConvertBase As Int32 = 36
strSum = ""
intNum = intNumber
Do
intCarry = intNum Mod intConvertBase
If intCarry > 9 Then
strSum = Chr(intCarry + 87) + strSum
Else
strSum = intCarry & strSum
End If
intNum = Int(intNum / intConvertBase)
Loop Until intNum = 0
Return strSum
End Function

END;

$geshi = new GeSHi($source, 'vbnet');
$geshi->set_header_type(GESHI_HEADER_DIV);
$geshi->set_overall_style('font-family: Courier New , Courier, Monospace; font-size: 8pt; word-wrap:break-word;');
$geshi->set_comments_style(1, 'color: #006600;');
$geshi->set_comments_style('MULTI', 'color: #006600;');
$geshi->set_header_content('Code Example © Robert Mech. May be used freely as long as credit is given to the source.');
$geshi->set_header_content_style('font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; color: #808080; font-weight: bold; background-color: #f0f0ff; border-bottom: 1px solid #d0d0d0; padding: 2px;');
$geshi->set_footer_content('If you use this code, please make a comment on the blog!');
$geshi->set_footer_content_style('font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; color: #808080; font-weight: bold; background-color: #f0f0ff; border-top: 1px solid #d0d0d0; padding: 2px;');

echo $geshi->parse_code();
?>
