Hi ,
I want to convert each letter in a string to it's ascii character.
I have tried using System.Convert.ToInt32(C)
where c is the substring character from the main string.
When I use this syntax I get a message string input format incorrect.But when issue the same syntax in the immediate window like System.Convert.ToInt32('A'),it returns the correct ascii value 65.I am not sure if I miss something .
Can some please let me know how to convert a char value to ASCII number.
Thanks
GP
 
I found the answer,for those who are looking for a solution...here is the solution....

//check for atleast one upper case
System.Text.Encoding ascii = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII;
Byte[] encodedBytes = ascii.GetBytes(str);
foreach (Byte b in encodedBytes)
{
if ((b >= 97) && (b <= 122))
bUppercase=true;
}

Try this
string s = "hallo world";
foreach( char c in s)
{
Console.WriteLine(System.Convert.ToInt32(c));
}
Console.ReadLine();

First of all, .net strings are stored as unicode, so you won't get ASCII
values that way, you'll get unicode values. If you really need ASCII values,
you should have a look at ASCIIEncoding or StreamWriter class.

Is it a substring or a character?
This will work fine:
System.Convert.ToInt32("ABC"[0])
Because the [] operator returns a character, however in:
Console.WriteLine(System.Convert.ToInt32("ABC".Substring(0,1)));
Substring returns a string, and ToInt32 tries to parse that string - which
fails, because "A" is not a number.

System.Convert.ToInt32("A") would be the same syntax. Use [] (or () in VB, I
think) instead of Substring.

That's not your problem. The problem is getting the char value. To make
things easier, use a temporary variable like:
char c = MyString[index];
int unicodeValue = System.Convert.ToInt32(c);

- the compiler will give you an error if your code doesn't do what you think
(i.e. doesn't return a char)
- you can look at the temp variables in the debugger
- this way will work.

NOOO!!!

That's not the solution, that's a dirty hack!
Many languages (like German, French, Russian, Chinese, Japanese...) have
uppercase letters outside the 'A'-'Z' range, like ÄÖÜÁÀÙ.
Use:
foreach (char c in str) bUppercase |= char.IsUpper(c);
Shorter, better, portable.

Both of those are going to be slower than just using a cast to int to
get the Unicode value, and then detecting whether or not it's in the
ASCII range. We're fortunate enough to know that all ASCII values have
the same values in Unicode.
 
U can try this


String c = "I miss U";
foreach(char n in c)
{
int d = n;
console.writeline(System.convert.ToString(d,2));

}
console.ReadKey();
}




i believe this would help u out... thanks
