I could add four new static methods in the "Net" class:

Integer to binary string and vice-versa:

EncodeInteger (Number as Integer,Len as Integer) As Integer
DecodeInteger (Number As String) As Integer


Integer in network order to binary string and vice-versa:

EncodeNetInt (Number as Integer,Len as Integer) As Integer
DecodeNetInt (Number As String) As Integer

Should it help?
