chr in VB Vs ASCII.GetString

[Suhail Salman]

Dear All,

is there any difference with the return strings from the visual basic
function chr and the .NET method ASCII.GetString i see a difference when the
ascii code passed to the two functions is greater than 127 am i right?
for example the ASCII Code 203 is returned in C# as "K" while in VB "Ë"

can i get the output in .net to be the same as VB6 ?

any one can help

There's no such thing as an ASCII code greater than 127.

for example the ASCII Code 203 is returned in C# as "K" while in VB "Ë"

There *is* no ASCII 203.

can i get the output in .net to be the same as VB6 ?

Using Encoding.Default.GetString - I believe VB just uses the system
default encoding.

encoding....
