So when i export an xml file, the objects within are identified by Id:

<ObjectTemplateDefinition Id="0x0100000100000DD5">

Whats the best way to handle that id when writing a parser. Should i just treat it like a string or convert it to some other data type?

Hi steamroller,

the best way is to parse it into an unsigned int64 ("ulong" in C#).
String could work, but it's very bulky for this usage.

I hope this helps.
