There is any easy way to convert a 1Char string to a char variable?
string str="A";
char ch=str...

This gets the first character in the string:

char ch = str[0];

// Bjorn A

Hi Bernardo,

Hi,

Thanks for your help,

try:
string str = "A";

char ch = Convert.ToChar(str);

HTH,
Marc

remember that string is an array of char, therefore you can access each
element by its index.

e.g.

string s = "abc";

char ch = s[0];

bear in mind Bernardo that if you try the conversion using Convert and the
string is greater than 1 char or null then an exception will be thrown,
likewise if you try accessing the 0 index of the string and the string is
empty or null then an exception will also be thrown.

No, a string isn't actually an array of chars. However, it has an
indexer which returns the character at the appropriate position.

also explains the immutable aspect of strings).

cheers.
