converting

i am writing an application that can convert words to hexdecimal eg i want if i type something like (i will come) in one richtextbox it will convert to its hexdecimal equivalent in another richtextbox

What exactly do you mean by "hexadecimal equivalent"? Do you mean the ASCII code of each character in hex or the like or something else?

A the previous said, you'll have to run through each character and find its hexadecimal equivalent. So, a simple way to do that would be when they hit a button

for(int c = 0; c < textBox1.Text.Length; c++)
{
    textBox2.Text += convert2hex(textBox1.Text[c]);
}

That will loop through the characters in textBox1 and add them to textBox2. But you'll have to write a function to do the actual converting. convert2hex was made up by myself.

Here's a video showing how you would convert: How to Convert a Decimal Number to a Hexadecimal Number - YouTube
