Saving Handle long value

[Anonymous]

The Handle object has a value property which is of type long. Is it ok to use this value to save/reterive Handles on disk? As, on websites, I have seen people use Handle.ToString() to save the handle and then a Convert.ToInt64 to reterive it back.

I suppose they are the same.

Yes, you're right. The hexadecimal version is only a convenient way for storing this handle in an human readable way.

An handle is a 64-bit integer starting at 1.
