Hi Adam -

Actually, I have to test each bit in PrimaryBitMap to see if that bit is on
or off.

and of course the first bit would be '1'. Can anyone confirm/deny?

I'm pretty sure that isn't the problem. You could confirm by inspecting
the value of PrimaryBitMap in debug.

I think nicolas hit it on the head. Since I rarely have to bit fiddle I
almost always make a binary->hex or hex->binary mistake on my first
crack at a problem.

It might help if you describe in words what you're trying to do. Are
you trying to test the value of the first bit in PrimaryBitMap?
