why does my linq result show hex values in the debugger?

Question

Hi

I noticed when I look at say a result I got back from my database using linq to sql all fields like my primary key that is an auto increment field is shown as hex in my debugger.

So like I will see in the debugger 0x00000006 instead of '6'. Is there any particular reason why? Kinda through me off guard when I wanted to take my result and do a count on it and the count field has 0x00000001 in it and I was checking if it equaled zero.

Thanks

How the numbers are shown in the debugger is configurable. Try right clicking on the numbers and unchecking the "Hexidecimal Display" field and it should go back to non-hex values.
