Can I hex edit a file in Visual Studio?

  1. Menu FileOpenFile
  2. Select the file to be opened
  3. On the open file dialog at the bottom there is a down arrow on the "Open" button
  4. Click "Open With..."
  5. Click "Binary Editor"
  6. Click OK

Or for the keyboard geeks out there:

  1. Ctrl + o
  2. Ctrl + v (paste filename)
  3. tab
  4. tab
  5. w
  6. b
  7. Enter

In addition to Kevin's answer, with Visual Studio 2017 you need to have the Visual Studio C++ Core Features component installed.

Another way to do it is to rename your file to .bin and drag it into VS editor
