Hi all,
How can I convert an integer to its equivalent ascii character without
using Microsoft.VisualBasic dll or any other dll(I want to reference only
System.dll).

Thanks.

-Nikhil

Nikhil.

char c = (char)13;

Thanks Alex,
Unfortunately I am using VB.Net not C#.

I tried

CType(10, Char)

in VB.Net. But it returned "1".

Nikhil,
Have you looked at ChrW?

Dim ch As Char = ChrW(10)

Hope this helps
Jay

You fail to mention the Text Encoding used, so I will assume the Integer in
question already represents ASCII.
Here is just a couple of the available methods, there are more depending upon
encoding.

Dim intChar As Integer = 65 'ASCII "A"
Dim c As Char

c = Chr(intChar)
c = Convert.ToChar(intChar)

Thanks Jay.

The ChrW is in Microsoft.VisualBasic dll. I don't want to load this dll just
for this one function. Because my application is already very slow.

Is there any way to do this using only System.dll?

Thanks.

Sorry, failed to notice the part about just System.dll
These are of course in the VisualBasic portion.

CableWizard,

use the Convert static class.

Dim X as integer = 70
Dim Y as Char = Convert.ToChar(X)

I am a little confused however.
You posted to the VB group, but don't want to include the Microsoft.VisualBasic
dll?
You really can't do anything without that.
If you are running the IDE with a VB project open, that is automatically
referenced, and won't even appear in the references.
Are you confusing this dll with the Compatibility dll?
