Comparison binary in .NET

Dear All
I like to take an integer value such as 3000 and convert to binary mode such as "3000=101110111000" and compare every bit and find-out which of the bits is set to "1" and which of the bits set to "0"
Many Thanks for any reply

Try this to get you started.

VB Code:

Dim i As Integer = 3000
        Dim str As String = Convert.ToString(i, 2)
        Debug.WriteLine(str)

Here's the rest of what you want. I'm not sure that the For loop is the smartest way to do it, but its all I can think of at the moment...

VB Code:

Dim i As Integer = 3000
        Dim str As String = Convert.ToString(i, 2)
        Debug.WriteLine(str)
 
        Dim find As Integer
        For find = Len(str) To 1 Step -1
            If Mid(str, find, 1) = "1" Then
                Debug.WriteLine("Bit " & Len(str) - find + 1 & " is set.")
            End If
        Next

You should look into the BitVector32 class.
