      For generic purpose type converting there's a static class "Convert". There you have a "ToString([param])" method

        I think the best way to do that is to use a generic list List chars = new List(); chars.Add('t'); Console.WriteLine(chars[0].ToString()); Lester http://www.lestersconyers.com

            That's a bad idea, lester. First of all, it only returns the first character as a string, not the whole character array. Secondly, adding the chars to a list does nothing to help converting the whole thing to a string.

              Did you look at the earlier replies at all ? your "best way" is plain wrong, it does not address the problem, it needs at least .NET 2.0, it creates more than one object, and it is in no way better than a simple string constructor. Life is study.

                My, my, my. I didn't know programmers could be so sassy. Excuse me experts. I guess I didn't understand the problem. Please forgive me.

                    We don't mean to be sassy, just wanted to correct a wrong answer. No harm meant.
