int i;
char='c';

How can it be done in csharp portably, is it somethig like that: i= c
& 0x00FF;


are there generic functions for this sort of operations?

thx

A char is a 16 bit value, you can just convert it to an int without
loosing any data:

i = (int)c;

If you are talking about an unsigned char as in C, that is the same as a
byte in .NET, so there is no conversion at all.

The cast is not even needed.
