Extended ascii chars

[James Pahiris]

Is there any way to store an extended ascii char in visual basic .net

In previous VB chr$(254) ' â–*

I need to send ascii chars (8 bit) to a serial port

Thanks for any help.

Hi James,

Do you mean

dim b as byte = 254

Or do I see something wrong?

If you want to store the character code, why not use a Byte variable?

You can use a byte instead, or use an encoding's 'GetBytes' method.
