hello,
I m trying to write small program convering from string to ascii then converting back from ascii to string.
converting from string to ascii is ok, but to convert from ascii to string it gives me the ascii not string.

my code is:
CODE


ASCIIEncoding ascii = new ASCIIEncoding();
            byte[] a = ascii.GetBytes(textBox2.Text);
            string b = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(a,0,a.Length);
            textBox3.Text = textBox3.Text + b.ToString ();

Hi.

I am not sure if I am correct, since I am fairly new to C# as well. But as far as I know, .NET uses Unicode (UTF8) strings.
So you can try doing this something like this

CODE


            byte[] a = new byte[b.Length];
            char[] s = new char[b.Length];

            int i;

            s = b.ToCharArray();

            for (i = 0; i <= b.Length; i++)
            {
                a[i] = (byte)s[i];
            }

            UTF8Encoding.Convert(Encoding.ASCII, Encoding.UTF8, a);
            textBox3.Text = textBox3.Text + a.ToString();



I dont know if this code will work or not, but I hope this helps.

Good luck!

Hi there, I've just knocked together some examples that should get you going:

CODE

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // create some examples
            Int32 ASCII = 69;
            String word = "ABC";

            // Cast to Char - display an integer as its ASCII value - 69 = E
            Console.WriteLine((Char)ASCII);
            // or use the convert method
            Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToChar(ASCII));

            // Display string as series of ASCII values
            foreach (Char character in word)
            {
                // Cast to an integer
                Console.WriteLine((Int32)character);
                // or use convert method
                Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToInt32(character));
            }

            Console.ReadKey();

        }
    }
}


Hope that helps!
