Simple but potentially dumb question:

How can I get the ASCII numeric value for a character in C#? In FoxPro, the
function ASC("A") returns a 65 (int). Is there a similar function in C#?

Thanks in advance.

Just cast the character to an int, and it will give you the Unicode
value. (You don't actually need the cast unless you're distinguishing
between overloads.) The Unicode value of any ASCII character is the
same as its ASCII value.

For instance:

int i = 'a'; // i is now 65.
 
Thanks!
