getting the character code of a character in a string

[Velvet]

I'm trying to convert some JavaScript to C# and don't know how to get the
character code of a character in a string. in JavaScript it is as follows:

for( i = 0; i < email.length; i++)

{

var fs = email.charCodeAt(i);

uniemail = uniemail + '&#' + fs + ';';

}

What function would replace the .charCodeAt() function?
Thanks in advance!

(Int32)email;

No, maybe I wasn't clear...

I need the Unicode character number (character code) and not just to convert
it to a character type.

Anyone else?

This doesn't work... won't even compile.

byte[] emailBuff = Encoding.ASCII.GetBtyes(email);
for( i = 0; i < emailBuff.length; i++)
{
int char = (int) emailBuff;
uniemail += string.format("&#{0};",char);
}

My mistake... case sensitivity got me. Looks like this is working!
THANKS!

OK, one more problem!

The encoding happens, but when I write it to the Text property of the
Hyperlink control, it seems that ASP.NET auto converts it back to a normal
string. What is going on here? How am I supposed to keep my email
addresses from being picked up by robots if my encoding is converted back to
a normal string??

Very frustrating!

PS: Here's the working Encoding code
public static string UniEncode(string text)

{

System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();

int charCode;


for( int i = 0; i < text.Length; i++)

{

charCode = (Int32) text;

sb.Append(String.Format("&#{0};",charCode));

}


return sb.ToString();

}

nevermind... it seems that when you save the page from the browser that is
when the transformation happens.

Now if my 'View Source' worked.... I had to view the source in FireFox to
figure this out. For some unknown reason the 'View Source' in my IE browser
has quit working so I was saving the page to view the source.

None of this is necessary at all, *if* you use the correct requestEncoding/responseEncoding
for your pages...
