Convert String to hex little endian format in C++

I have a string 2290348 I need it to display as ACF22200 (little endian)

Because the input 2290348 is passed in via a form in textbox, I have tried to read it as string (eg. this->textBox1->Text) and convert it to int (eg. Convert::ToInt32(this->textBox1->Text)). afterwhich, i converted it to hex via ToString("x") which i manage to get 22F2AC I appended 00 to 22F2AC and gotten 0022F2AC still as string now i'm stuck in converting 0022F2AC to ACF22200

While still an int, you could use e.g. htonl to convert it to "network" byte order.

#include <winsock2.h>

int main()
{
    unsigned int x = 0x22F2AC;
    printf("x = 0x%08x\n", x);
    printf("htonl(x) = 0x%08x\n", htonl(x));
    return 0;
}

The program above prints:

x = 0x0022f2ac
htonl(x) = 0xacf22200
