If you use Convert.ToChar(48), it will return you '1', and so forth. :-D

The Char data type in .NET is not ASCII but Unicode. You can easily convert between Char and Int32: int i = 49; char c = (char)i; char d = (char)49; You can also write characer codes inside a char or string literal: char e = '\x31'; char f = '\u0031'; --- b { font-weight: normal; }

Hi, There is a built in Encoder to ASCII and from ASCII. Just use System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes and pass a string or a character array and it will provide you the ASCII byte array. The using System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetChars you can change back from ASCII to character. Hope it helps, Andrei
