I am making a method called:

@property string debugIDString() {
in {
  assert(super.toHash() == this.toHash());
} body {

}

body { // is currently:
  return to!string(this.toHash());
}

and is returning a base10 string, so how would I return a hex string so I can compare numbers displayed to the debugger addresses in visual D?

One solution:  create "string_tools.d":

module string_tools;
import std.conv: to;


string hexString(int x) {
	string hex = "0x";

	for(uint k=0; k < 8; k++) {
		int hexDig = (x >> (k << 2)) & 0x0000000F;
		if (hexDig < 10) {
			hex ~= to!string(hexDig);
		}
		else {
			string hexDixStr;
			switch (hexDig) {
				case 10:	hexDigStr = "A"; break;
				case 11:    hexDigStr = "B"; break;
				case 12:    hexDigStr = "C"; break;
				case 13:    hexDigStr = "D"; break;
				case 14:    hexDigStr = "E"; break;
				case 15:    hexDigStr = "F"; break;
			}
			hex ~= hexDigStr;
		}
	}

	return hex;
}

	@property string debugIDString() {
		import std.format;
		return format("%x", this.toHash());
	}

to!string has an optional radix (aka base) parameter:

  return to!string(this.toHash(), 16);
