Location of Ascii table or ascii table generator
-
They're not generated. The .NET framework (and other frameworks such as the JDK) use Unicode encodings to map characters in different scripts to byte values. Unicode and ASCII reference tables are of course available online. Hope this helps. /ravi

Ok understood. But "where exactly" (location) are these mapping done in the environment. All I am asking for is a path or file name.

They are done in read-only sections of code and aren't configurable (i.e. read from a file or the registry). It's the same with timezone definitions, calendar types and locales. /ravi

Hi, Does anyone know the exact location of the C#.net ascii table or where exactly it is generated. Can someone please assist me a path or file name. Thank You.

Jschell, Thank you very much for the help. I am very curious how you went about finding this file. Can you please explain your methodology? Thanks again.

That's like asking, "where are the integers stored?", as if there's some table that contains the complete set of integers. There is no such thing. It's a meaningless question. My best guess would be that you want to know where to find typeface (font) files that allow the system to generate a particular glyph on the screen for a given ASCII code (or Unicode codepoint). Some code pages are built into the system, but you may also want to look at
dir %SystemRoot%\fonts. -

The analogy is not apt. Although ASCII is a rather trivial character set one can suppose that one might handle it like more complex character sets. Certainly since the memory considerations for the entire code page are trivial it certainly would be better unless one found that performance was better without it.

I already knew about encoders and the ASCII one. And if you look up the encoder in the MS docs it tells you which dll contains the classes. It says that right at the top and looks like the following
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

My point is that ASCII is really just a set of integers and not very useful without context.

Thank you. I really appreciate your help in this matter.
