[*resolved] string to char?

[MrPolite]

is there a function to convert a string to an array of characters?
I wrote my own, but just wondering if there is a way to do so

Any chance of including your own version in the next update of the VBCodeBook CodePack?

sure

Public Shared Function StringToChar(ByVal s As String) As Char()
        If s Is Nothing Then Return Nothing
 
        Dim chars(s.Length - 1) As Char
        Dim i As Integer
        For i = 0 To s.Length - 1
            chars(i) = CChar(s.Substring(i, 1))
        Next
 
        Return chars
    End Function

would you put my name there?

Is this what your talking about?

Dim TheWord As String = "Moo"
        Dim Letters() As Char
        Letters = TheWord.ToCharArray()

I believe that doesnt return an array. But thanks for posting... I didnt know a Convert class existed I guess it's the same as CType, CByte, CWhatever functions though

actually it isnt the same as ctype...there are conversions ctype can't do and Convert.Toxxxx can do
