Convert Byte to Char

[John Smith]

Hello,

Suppose I have the following C# code which I want to convert to VB:

for (int i = 0; i < nFieldLength; i++)
Console.Write(( char) sValue[i]);

sValue is a byte [] array.

The problem is the typecast which I can't find an equivalent for in VB. I
tried using CChar() and CType() but neither of them seemed to work. Instead
the compiler said it can't convert Byte to Char.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Take a look at chr(svalue(i))

John,

Dim a as char = chrw(65)
dim b as byte = ascw("A")

For me are the convert functions one of the things which I like very much
from VBNet.

Dim s As String = "Hello World!"
Dim bytes As Byte() = System.Text.ASC IIEncoding.ASCI I.GetBytes(s)
Dim output As String = System.Text.ASC IIEncoding.ASCI I.GetString(byt es)
Console.WriteLi ne(output)
