Creating a char or String from ascii code

[Phil Mc]

Hi
Can anyone tell me how to create an instance of a char or string from
an ascii character code.

That is if I wont to create a tab char (code 0009), how would I achieve
this.

I know about the slash characters \t and \n etc. but I need to be able
to do this manually.


Thanks

Hi Phil,
I am not very sure what you meant with "manually", but it seems you
wanted some thing like this:
either
char c = '\u0009';
or
char c = '\x0009'
will work.
More on the C# lang spec.

The easiest way is just to cast it:

int i = 9;
char c = (char)i;

Call ToString on the char to get a string.
