simple casting question

[DBC User]

Then you actually want to store it in a byte.

Well I missed out the conversation here. It looks like I can not store
the non printable value of 1 (not the character 1) in a character
field?

I can store the value 1 as binay 1 in byte field. Now is it possible to
move the value as it is to a character field??

Thanks.

Of course you can.

// character with value 1
char c = (char)1;

// string containing a single character with value 1
string s = ((char)1).ToString();

-cd

Yes it is possible. Several posters have illustrated how to do it.

Evidently, there is something wrong with your program. Unless you post
the code in question, we can't help you fix it.
