int to a

pnpfriend

Hi all! how can I convert the number ( 42 ) to A I mean in ASCII code 42 is an "A" so If I have number 42 how can I convert it into "A" in VB. I know that in C++ I can used IsAlpha(). Thanks

Hi Win Here's the VB.NET code (hope this is the VB ver. you wanted):

Imports System.Text.Encoding
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic

Module Module1

Sub Main()
    Dim i As Integer = AscW("A")
    Console.WriteLine(i.ToString())
    Dim c As Char = ChrW(i)
    Console.WriteLine(c.ToString())
    Console.ReadLine()
End Sub

End Module

Thanks Simon. That's exactly what I want. Thanks millions....

Cool, glad it helped. The wierd thing is that MS/other seem to recommend not using the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace as (I think) it uses interop in the background. Perhaps keep this code in a single function so it won't be too much of a sweat to change later, if necessary. I'll keep a look out for an alternative.

Hmmm.....isn't easier to use the Chr function??

Chr(65) = "A"

Would have been the way I would go.
