But it's not equivalent to Arne's solution as it returns windows default

What does that have to do with anything? It's not a VB6'ism is all that was

It would have been if you needed to set a reference to the

(Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatiblity.dll)
please note that if you do not need to set this reference you are working
with the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace wich is for current Visual Basic

If you *know* that your character is in the 0x00-0x7f range,
(int)c will do just fine.
But as you can see from using .Net Reflector (below), the full
Asc(char) function is a little more elaborate than that.

'Asc' returns the Windows ANSI character code depending on the system's

You know you could make an Asc() method by using VB.Net, make a method in VB
like MakeAsc() using Asc() within the method, compile it as a Library
solution, set reference to it in your C# project and use your made-up VB
MakeAsc() method from C#.

You use Asc() to generate an integer literal that is inserted into
JavaScript, where it is compared to a char value. Given that
JavaScript uses Unicode strings the same way .NET does, it would seem
that you do indeed need the Unicode version, unless I'm missing
something else.
Anyway, assuming you really do need Asc() and nothing else, the C#
equivalent would be Encoding.Default.GetBytes(ch)[0] - but that is
ignoring the fact that "ch" might be a multibyte character.

No it is VB syntax that is something completely different as compatibility,
it is pointed out several times by the Development team of VB
that all compatibility dll`s are hosted in the
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility namespace what is the "normal" VB
namespace is VB syntax the essence of the language the thing that makes
VB.Net .
I also do not see your OOP point as the VB namespace is a classic example of
good usage of OOP , and if you do not want to have the helper methods and
contstants that VB provides you have the posibility to remove the VB
namespace completely , however this will make VB a non rad dev environment
just as all other "new" languages out there remember that VB has a proven
language history as a rad and that the complete late binding mechanism of
VB is part of the VB namespace .

Asc(char) is a static/shared method of the
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings class, so saying that
it is a procedural leftover in an object oriented world
is the same as saying that all public static/shared
methods are procedural leftovers.
I am fairly sure that it would be difficult to write a
pure oo program given such a criteria.

You say that the value is "compared to a char value". Would you mind telling
me where I do this? If you are thinking of typedchar, that is not a char
(actually, it doesn't even exist in the final result). In the last few lines
of my code, you will notice that I replace the text "typedchar" with either
event.keyCode or event.which, depending on the browser. If you look at what
values the event.keyCode and event.which have, you will see why I do not
want the Unicode value.

For genuinely ASCII characters, that will give the same result as just
casting the character. For non-ASCII characters, I believe it will
return 3F ('?').
(If I *were* to use ASCIIEncoding, I'd suggest the Encoding.ASCII
property instead of creating a new one, btw.)

An example from the VB world:
---snip---
Imports System.Drawing.Graphics
....
Private Sub Test()
Dim bm As New Bitmap("c:\test.bmp")
Dim g As Graphics = FromImage(bm) '<<<<<<<<<<<<
End Sub
---snip---
instead of
---snip---
Private Sub Test()
Dim bm As New Bitmap("c:\test.bmp")
Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bm) '<<<<<<<<<
End Sub
---snip---
When you create a WinForms VB project, System.Drawing is already
included as a reference, but System.Drawing.Graphics is not.
In the last example above, you would have to prefix the Graphics
class to access the shared method.
One thing I will admit, though: Asc can be accessed using
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Asc and
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings.Asc.
Strings is a module, so in this case I suppose you are right,
though in practical terms I do not see much of a difference
between accessing Asc from a module and - as in the example
above - FromImage directly from a class by importing the
Graphics namespace.

Doh! Remind me not to post on a Sunday. My head is
not working today. Let me correct myself before someone
else does:
Strings is a class, of course - just stuffed in a module.
From http://discuss.joelonsoftware.com/de...t.12.353213.14
"A module IS just a class where Shared is implicitly understood for
each member. And the module name doesn't need to be supplied when the
members are used. That's it."
So Asc is just as OO (or not) as the rest of the framework.
Technically the same. Just a difference of style.

Joergen Bech

Currently i am sitting behind my dev laptopn wich has VS.Net 2008 and
Sharp develop installed
one of the nice features of sharp develop is that it can translate code
back and forward from VB to C# or BOO and vice versa ( maybe you should
have a look at it )
when i say in VB.Net
Private Sub test
Dim i As Integer = Asc("A")
End Sub
this is translated to C# and BOO as
C#
private void test()
{
int i = Strings.Asc("A");
}
BOO
private def test():
i as int = Strings.Asc('A')
In VS.Net 2008
this code ( note that i needed the value thrown in asc to be a non
constant value otherwise the IL that is generated is for this one
constant and you do not see the actuall call)
Private Sub test()
Dim i As Integer = Asc(My.Settings.testval)
MsgBox(i.ToString)
End Sub
becomes after compiling and decompiling with Reflector
Private Sub test()
Interaction.MsgBox(Strings.Asc(MySettingsProperty. Settings.testval).ToString,
MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, Nothing)
End Sub
and in C#
private void test()
{
Interaction.MsgBox(Strings.Asc(MySettingsProperty. Settings.testval).ToString(),
MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, null);
}
Conclusion ?
Asc(My.Settings.testval) = strings.asc(My.Settings.testval)

Michiel,
I don't know if you are aware that there is in C# a strict distinct between
a char and a string.
Even a sql nchar(1) will in a datacontext be used as a Char
There is in VB as well a Char, however beside the IndexOff in an array I
don't remember that I have ever used that.

Sharp develop installed
one of the nice features of sharp develop is that it can translate
code back and forward from VB to C# or BOO and vice versa ( maybe you
should have a look at it )
when i say in VB.Net
Private Sub test
Dim i As Integer = Asc("A")
End Sub
this is translated to C# and BOO as
C#
private void test()
{
int i = Strings.Asc("A");
}
BOO
private def test():
i as int = Strings.Asc('A')
In VS.Net 2008
this code ( note that i needed the value thrown in asc to be a non
constant value otherwise the IL that is generated is for this one
constant and you do not see the actuall call)
Private Sub test()
Dim i As Integer = Asc(My.Settings.testval)
MsgBox(i.ToString)
End Sub
becomes after compiling and decompiling with Reflector
Private Sub test()
Interaction.MsgBox(Strings.Asc(MySettingsProperty .Settings.testval).ToString,
MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, Nothing)
End Sub
and in C#
private void test()
{
Interaction.MsgBox(Strings.Asc(MySettingsProperty .Settings.testval).ToString(),
MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, null);
}
Conclusion ?
Asc(My.Settings.testval) = strings.asc(My.Settings.testval)

A Char is a Char no matter if the language is
C# or VB.Net.
Whatever distinction there is between a Char and a String in
C# exists in VB.Net as well.

I don't know if you are aware that there is in C# a strict distinct between
a char and a string.
Even a sql nchar(1) will in a datacontext be used as a Char
There is in VB as well a Char, however beside the IndexOff in an array I
don't remember that I have ever used that.

That will always return the Unicode encoding of the character, which
isn't always the same as the value in the system defaut encoding.
Personally I try to steer clear of the system default encoding as much
as possible, but sometimes it's necessary.

It's pretty much the implementation of the VB.NET function AscW :) Asc does a
little more checking depending on the value of the conversion and the current
encoding.

Yes.

Exactly - and seeing as the OP wanted an implementation of Asc instead
of Ascw, that's what's wrong with "return (int)strChar[0];"

The have been a lot of answers to this but the shortest is:
1) Add a reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic and the function is
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings.Asc(char)
2) Using reflector to get the source to the function in C#, its:
public static int Asc(char theChar)
{
int num;
int num2 = Convert.ToInt32(theChar);
if (num2 < 0x80)
{
return num2;
}
try
{
byte[] buffer;
Encoding fileIOEncoding = Encoding.Default;
char[] chars = new char[] { theChar };
if (fileIOEncoding.IsSingleByte)
{
buffer = new byte[1];
int num3 = fileIOEncoding.GetBytes(chars, 0, 1, buffer,
0);
return buffer[0];
}
buffer = new byte[2];
if (fileIOEncoding.GetBytes(chars, 0, 1, buffer, 0) == 1)
{
return buffer[0];
}
if (BitConverter.IsLittleEndian)
{
byte num4 = buffer[0];
buffer[0] = buffer[1];
buffer[1] = num4;
}
num = BitConverter.ToInt16(buffer, 0);
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
throw exception;
}
return num;
}

Because (as has been pointed out several times in this thread) just
using the Unicode value is the equivalent of AscW, not Asc.

What on earth has that got to do with anything?

VB.NET's Asc()
Indeed. The OP wants the easiest way of achieving in C# what he'd
achieve in VB.NET using Asc. The simplest and most reliable way is to
call the same Asc method that VB.NET uses.
Let's go back to the very first post, quoted here in its entirety (of
the body, anyway):
<quote>
VB.NET has a function, Asc(), that gets the Ascii value of a character.
I am attempting to find an equivelant function for C#. Can somebody

</quote>
The simplest "equivalent function" is to call the original function, is
it not? In other words, Ciaran's first suggestion was entirely
appropriate.
Your suggestion not only wouldn't compile, but certainly wasn't an
"equivalent function", given that it wasn't a function at all.

If they are in the default system encoding, then obviously it is the
default system encoding of the client (since JavaScript runs on the
client). In which case Asc() is actually incorrect, since it would use
the default system encoding of the server, and they need not match.
Anyway, I've wrote a simple test to see what is there:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function keyPress() {
var div = document.getElementById("keycode");
div.innerText += event.keyCode;
div.innerText += '\n';
div.innerText += event.which;

<body>
<textarea onkeypress="keyPress()"></textarea>
<div id="keycode"></div>

And on my system, both IE7 and Opera 9.5 display Unicode codepoints
for Russian characters I input, and not codepoints from my default
ANSI encoding (which would be win1251).

I haven't tested it yet, but does anybody think the following would work:
System.Text.ASCIIEncoding charcode=new System.Text.ASCIIEncoding();
byte asciivalue=charcode.GetBytes(acceptchar)[0];
It would, but if you really want to restrict yourself to ASCII, then
you can use a slightly modified original proposal:
char c;
int asciiValue = (sbyte)c;
This is because Unicode codepoints for all symbols in ASCII are
equivalent to their ASCII codes. If you want to guard against non-
ASCII symbols, you could use "checked":
int c;
try {
int asciiValue = checked((sbyte)c);
} catch (OverflowException) {
// Wasn't an ASCII character; handle error
...
}
Or just check for (c <= sbyte.MaxValue).
I never had the opportunity to test my stuff on machines other than my own
(although I have tested it being run using my machine as the server and
using my webhost as the server), so you may be right about some of this
stuff. I probably should do a little research on exactly what is returned by
event.keyCode and event.which so that I can hopefully avoid any bugs due to
server/client encoding mismatches. I have never really dealt with character
encoding, so I guess I have my next challenge, and thanks for pointing this
out to me, I appreciate it!

the best description I can give (I may be slightly off, and with all the
different browsers and versions, it can be hard to cover it all):
event.keyCode:
In Internet Explorer, event.keyCode is the Unicode value of the
character typed (whether it be a, A, tab, enter, etc). Some keys do not even
trigger this event, such as shift & ctrl, which only trigger the keyup &
keydown events.
In Firefox, event.keyCode returns a key code for keys that do not create
a visible character (this includes tab & enter, but not space). For a good
reference, see http://www.quirksmode.org/js/keys.html
event.which:
Internet Explorer does not use event.which
In Firefox, event.which is, based on my observations, the same as either
event.keyCode or event.charCode. Since only one of these two properties is
assigned a value (depending on what key is pressed), that same value is
assigned to event.which. I am guessing that the designers of Firefox did not
intend for event.which to be used, and to have you use only event.keyCode &
event.charCode.
