How to convert ascii into binary

Hi,
I want to know that how we can convert our ascii text into binary one.

Use the KeyPress event of a text box to capture the KeyAscii of each typed character. Then do something like:

VB Code:

intAscii = KeyAscii
 
If intAscii > 128 then
  strBinary = 1
  intAscii = intAscii - 128
Else
  strBinary = 0
End if
 
If intAcii > 64 Then
  strBinary = strBinary & 1
  intAscii = intAscii - 64
Else
  strBinary = 0
End if
 
etc...

or to shorten it up you can do:

VB Code:

intAscii = KeyAcii
intCurrent = 128
 
For i = 1 to 8
  If intAcii > intCurrent then
    strBinary = strBinary & 1
    intAcii = intAcii - intCurrent
  Else
    strBinary = strBinary & 0
  End if
  intCurrent = intCurrent / 2
Next

Hope this helps.
