Getting ASCII code of a character by code

Question

Hi,

Is there any way in C# to get the ASCII code of a character like in VB.

VB: Dim n as Integer = Asc("D"c) 'return 68

I don't want to use Microsoft.VisualBasic for this task.

Thanks

Answer 1

You can use:

char D = 'D';
int n = (int)D;

Or the shorter:   int n = (int)'D';

Oh... Very Simple

Good to know that casting a character yields ASCII code!
