Hi objectref,

You can use the Convert.ToInt32 (string, base) to get the number value of a
hexadecimal string

int n = Convert.ToInt32 ("FF", 16);

To convert it to a character, simply cast the integer to char

char c = (char)n;

Does this work?

string str = "FF";
char c= Int32.Parse(str , NumberStyles.Al lowHexSpecifier );
