Chr/Asc equivalents

Hi,

What are the equivalents of the Chr/Asc functions in the .NET Framework? I know they're inside Microsoft.VisualBasic, but I'm sure there must be a way to do it without using that namespace.

Thanks in advance.

Why are you avoiding Microsoft.VisualBasic? I notice that a lot. It's a part of the VB.NET programming language. The only namespace that you really are supposed to be avoiding is Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility, for reasons that should be obvious.

Because that way I can keep compatibility between different implementations of the .NET Framework (using only the System.* namespaces), like the one being developed for Linux.

I think you need

System.Char
and
System.Char.ToString(chrvalue)

maybe.. :p

Beecause Tygur, most all that VB stuff is elsewhere in the framework and why add another reference when you can do it with 1 less reference?

Plus as gxpark said, it is less likely to be supported by Mono or any other .NET port.

It is my understanding that the extra reference doesn't hurt anything.

This point makes sense, though.

Cander, I don't think that's what I need, but thanks for trying :)
