I cannot seem to find the equivilant of assigning a range to an array in c#.
In other languages you can do something like:

@myArray = ("a" .. "z");

or something to that effect. Thus creating an array with 26 indexes from
'a' through 'z'. How is this possible in C#? I *really* don't want to have
to type in all the characters independently for each of my different
character validators.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

TIA

There is no built in method for this initialization. But you could create
your own char[] creator function like:

char[] CharRange(char start, char end)
{
int size = (end - start) + 1;
char[] chars = new char[size];
for (int i = 0 ; i < size ; i++)
chars[i] = (char)(start + i);
return chars;
}

Then just call:
char[] chars = CharRange('a', 'z');

Another alternative is something like:
char[] chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz".ToCharArray();
