How to get a char from an ASCII Character Code in C#

Question

I'm trying to parse a file in C# that has field (string) arrays separated by ASCII character codes 0, 1 and 2 (in Visual Basic 6 you can generate these by using Chr(0) or Chr(1) etc.)

I know that for character code 0 in C# you can do the following:

char separator = '\0'; 

But this doesn't work for character codes 1 and 2?

Answer 1

Two options:

char c1 = '\u0001'; char c1 = (char) 1; 

Answer 2

You can simply write:

char c = (char) 2; 

or

char c = Convert.ToChar(2); 

or more complex option for ASCII encoding only

char[] characters = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetChars(new byte[]{2}); char c = characters[0];
