using System;

namespace ConsoleApplication4
{
	/// <summary>
	/// Summary description for Class1.
	/// </summary>
	class Class1
	{
		/// <summary>
		/// The main entry point for the application.
		/// </summary>
		[STAThread]
		static void Main(string[] args)
		{
			//
			// TODO: Add code to start application here
			//
			string s="BILLGATES";
			int num=0;
			for(int i=0;i<s.Length;i++)
			{
				num+=(int)s[i];
			}
			num+=3; //William Henry III
			Console.WriteLine(num);
		}
	}
}

i got it. but is this the efficient way???

Module Module1
 
    Sub Main()
      Dim s As String = "BILLGATES"
      Dim c() As Char = s.ToCharArray
      Dim i As Integer
      Dim num As Integer = 0
      For i = 0 To c.Length - 1
         num += Asc(c(i))
      Next
      num += 3
      Console.WriteLine(num)
    End Sub
 
End Module

thanx...
