Converting a character code to char (VB.NET)

Question

I'm able to convert a character to its corresponding character/ASCII code using "Asc(CHAR)". What can I use to convert this returned integer back to its original character form?

Solution 1

The Chr function in VB.NET converts the integer back to the character:

Dim i As Integer = Asc("x") ' Convert to ASCII integer.
Dim x As Char = Chr(i)      ' Convert ASCII integer to char.

Solution 2

Use the Chr or ChrW function, Chr(charNumber).

Solution 3

you can also use

Dim intValue as integer = 65  ' letter A for instance
Dim strValue As String = Char.ConvertFromUtf32(intValue)

this doesn't requirement Microsoft.VisualBasic reference

Solution 4

You could use the Chr(int) function
