That is a 24-byte (192-bit) number; what value are you expecting?

Note that you can use Convert to do a lot of the grungy work here - for example (in C#):

    string hex = "A14152464C203230304232323020572F544947455234352E";
    byte[] raw = new byte[hex.Length / 2];
    for (int i = 0; i < raw.Length ; i++)
    {
        raw[i] = Convert.ToByte(hex.Substring(i * 2,2), 16);
    }

How you get from raw to a number depends on what you think the number is...

Visual Basic translation courtesy of .NET Reflector (although the "-1" looks odd):

Dim hex As String = "A14152464C203230304232323020572F544947455234352E"
Dim raw As Byte() = New Byte((hex.Length / 2)  - 1) {}
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To raw.Length - 1
    raw(i) = Convert.ToByte(hex.Substring((i * 2), 2), &H10)
Next i
