Hexadecimal Values Displaying in Visual Studio*

For the last couple weeks I've had a constant problem while doing debugging in Visual Studio 2005. The issue is within the Immediate Window where, somehow, all the integer values are being displayed as Hexadecimals. (Now.. of course it's easy to just do a ".ToString" to get the integer value but this simply not ideal.)

Skipping to the solution - Google served up this nice blogspot blog titled, "Technical News about Microsoft and tips from My learning". The guy explained in very concise terms (unlike how I blog) that all one needs to do is "goto Watch Window and right click on any row and you will observe that 'Hexadecimal Display' is enabled. Select or Deselect depending on your requirement." (Ref) And presto! Problem fixed!

So guy, whoever you are, I thank you as I was truly tired of seeing hex.
