if i use _itoa and 10 for the 3rd parameter, the number is too big, base 10 is tooo low...

and if I use _itoa with 16 for the 3rd parameter, then the number has all the letters that come with base 16...

How can I just get 223538 in the string?? which base??

also with hostringstream, are there any specific files that i need to include??

thanx
