VB To C# ( _value = Asc(Mid(LStr, IValue, 1)))

[blackchaosv2]

Hello, I wrote this a while ago and I need some help converting it to C#. "( _value = Asc(Mid(LStr, IValue, 1)))"

Mid is the equivalent of Substring. Rather than passing in LStr, you use Substring on that, so you'd have LStr.Substring. LValue is the start position and 1 is the length that you pass in to the Substring method. Asc just returns the ASCII code, so all you need to do is convert the single character from your Substring to an int.

Thanks I did the following. I added the VisualBasic Reference and used Strings.Asc. Then for the Mid I use:

public static string Mid(string param, int startIndex, int length)
{
string result = param.Substring(startIndex, length);
return result;
}

There was no reason to do this. It is easily accomplished without adding a heavy DLL reference. There are many, many ways to get the char out - one way is to use char.Parse(Mid(LStr, startIndex, 1)) and then cast this to an int.

Is this not just

char _value = LStr[IValue];

... or possibly

int _value = (int)LStr[IValue];

... ?

Remember, legacy VB string functions are 1-based, not 0-based, so the equivalent is:

_value = Convert.ToInt32(LStr[IValue - 1]));

Unless he's got the position using one of the inbuilt .NET routines.
