Really good post. If you want to do the same with a string instead of an int try the below.

    public string ConvertToHex(string asciiString)    {        string hex = "";        foreach (char c in asciiString)        {            int tmp = c;            hex += String.Format("{0:x2}",                      (uint)System.Convert.ToUInt32(tmp.ToString()));        }        return hex;    }
