How do you find the ASCII value of a character?

Thank you. I don't need to encrypt anything, just create a simple little game-like demo program for my beginning programming students. I'm teaching a combination VB/C# course and have been creating pairs of programs in both languages to demo side-by-side. The VB is easy. Translating it into C# is sometimes a little tricky. I have all the information I need now.

For encryption you will find some encription mechanism or class in System.Security.Cryptography namespace

int ucode=32; ucode=ucode+33; char s1=(char)ucode; MessageBox.Show(s1.ToString()); This code converts ascii to character; Can u just add a specific number with the ascii code to change to different character I dont understand ur question properly. May be this help you

Thank you. That works very nicely. I also want to convert ASCII code into a character. static void Main(string[] args) { string d, mystring = "hello"; int num; mystring = mystring.ToUpper(); foreach(char c in mystring) { d = Convert.ToString(c); d = d.ToLower(); num = ((int)c) - 64; Console.WriteLine("{0} - {1} - {2}",c, d, num); } Console.WriteLine(); } The program outputs: H - h - 8 E - e - 5 L - l - 12 L - l - 12 O - o - 15 Now how can I convert ASCII code back into a character? This could be done using an array of numbers and a for loop to produce the reverse of the above program. But what I would like to do is shift the character to a different ASCII value and change it back into a different character for a very simple encryption program. Coming from VB6, I have done that using the Chr() and Asc() functions.
