what this code means?

[ArielR]

sCmd = Chr(&H8s) & Chr(&H2s)

[ESTAN]

try: Console.WriteLine(sCmd) and check the output.

Hi, &H8s is an integer value; the &H prefix indicates hexadecimal, the s suffix indicates a short type; so it really is the number 8 (and there was no need to use hex in the first place). Chr() is a function that turns a number into the character with that ASCII value. And the & operator is used here to concatenate. Therefore sCmd will be assigned a string consisting of two characters whose ASCII values are 8 and 2. If you were not able to discover this yourself, either by experimenting, or by googling, I would suggest you work your way through a book on VB.NET to become familiar with it. :)

this weeks tips: - make Visual display line numbers: Tools/Options/TextEditor/... - show exceptions with ToString() to see all information - before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google

The same as: sCmd = (Convert.ToChar(8)).ToString() + (Convert.ToChar(2)).ToString()

--- single minded; short sighted; long gone;

nice explanation :->

Thank you very much

It means someone came from VB.NET via VB6 and hasn't learned to write clean code, yet.
