Hello,

How do I cast a character to it's ascii equivilant? And then cast it back?

iA = (asc)"A"; //?
iZ = int.Parse("Z"); //?

sA = (char)iA; //?
sZ = (char)iZ; //?

Thanks,

Stewart Haddock

int l_a = 'a';
char c_a = (char)l_a;

l_a will contain the ascii value of the character 'a'.
c_a simply casts it back to the letter 'a'.

If you were to apply the following code:
Console.WriteLine("l_a == {0}", l_a);
Console.WriteLine("c_a == {0}", c_a);
you would get the following output:
l_a == 97
c_a == a

Hope that helps...

You have to remember though that .NET uses double byte characters and
all ascii characters will be 16 bit with the first 8 bits as 0's. To
change to 7-bit ascii use the System.Text.Encoding namespace.

int l_a =3D 'a';
char c_a =3D (char)l_a;

l_a will contain the ascii value of the character 'a'.
c_a simply casts it back to the letter 'a'.

If you were to apply the following code:
Console.WriteLine("l_a =3D=3D {0}", l_a);
Console.WriteLine("c_a =3D=3D {0}", c_a);
you would get the following output:
l_a =3D=3D 97
c_a =3D=3D a

Hope that helps...
