I want to get characters for given ascii codes. Dont wanna use the CHR or
ChrW functions. What r the .NET equivilents of the Chr & ChrW functions?
Regards,
Abubakar.

Hi Abukar,
The Chr and the ChrW are normal functions in the Net the same as the + the +
and the =.
Why would do you not want to use those?

Hi Armin,
Now I never get the answer from Akubar,
:-(
Cor system.text.enc oding.ascii.get string
Note that ascii = 7 bits.

When I answered, your answer was not here, yet. For ASCII values, chr/chrw
don't help anyway.

because they require a reference to microsoft.visua lbasic.dll, and I dont
use that. I always program by removing its reference from project "imports".
I dont use anything that comes from the vb dll. Like for example, instead of
using the old mid function I'll use the substring function of the string
class. Wanna b more close to .net that the language.

Abubakar,
You do realize that ChrW is inlined as IL by the VB.NET compiler, if you
give it an integer constant? Which means that you can use ChrW with Char &
String Constants!
It only calls into microsoft.visua lbasic.dll if you give it a variable
parameter!
Of course you need to import the namespace in either case.
Initial tests suggest that AscW is always inlined for chars! And is only
calls microsoft.visua lbasic.dll for String variables.
If you don't believe me check the IL produced with ILDASM.EXE.
I would recommend using ChrW! Seems a little naive to avoid ALL the
functions in Microsoft.Visua lBasic, especially considering ALL the functions
are valid .NET!!! Usable from C# & other .NET languages as equally well as
VB.NET! Hell! its even installed as part of the framework itself!
Hope this helps

Why would you do that? Did you know that the compiler inserts the
reference even if you remove it? There is no reason to remove it.
Those functions are the functions that make vb.net - well vb.net. If
you don't want to use those functions then you might as well be using
C#. If your worried they are going to be removed then, stop worrying.
It is only the functions in Microsoft.Visua lBasic.Compatab ility.dll that
will be removed eventually. Further, there are a lot of handy functions
in the Microsoft.Visua lBasic.dll. In fact, I have added this reference
to a couple of C# projects to use the financial functions since it was
easier then coding them myself :)
About the only functions that I would suggest you avoid from the
standard VB.NET runtime is the File IO functions.... They are wicked
slow...

Armin,
Actually I understand that Chr uses System.Test.Enc oding.Default, as it
honors your Windows Code Page. However system.text.enc oding.ascii will give
the Ascii characters, which as you state is 7 bit. (I suspect Abubakar may
actually want ANSI characters in a particular code page).
ChrW is suppose to be "Straight Unicode" no encoding involved. Using
ILDASM.EXE on ChrW itself it checks to be certain the 32bit integer is
within "range", then calls Convert.ToChar.
I really don't know why anyone would want to avoid ChrW & AscW personally,
as my other post suggests, they are in-lined by the VB.NET compiler itself
most of the time! In other words VB.NET doesn't even wait for the JIT
compiler to possible inline them, it does it itself!
Hope this helps

well I dont think so, u know Rotor ? Its the open source .net. What I do is
sometimes I compile my programs in vbc and execute them in rotor, they work
fine if the vb dll is not referenced in it. Although I love C# and make
utilities in it but sometimes VB is a must as ordered by my seniors so I
like to program in such a way that I dont want to use vb dll specific
functions. And if I know everything through .NET classes and not by the
language, I'm pretty comfortable programming in any given language as I'v
already told u that I do program in C# and VB.net almost at the same time.

Hi,
I'm in the process if converting the data out of an old DOS-based

The data has been sent to me as a collection of hundreds of SunAccounts

each backup file in turn, reading the file line by line, splitting it up
into its constituent parts, and then squirting it into SQL Server.

Would anyone be so kind as to show the necessary changes?
