System.Char[]

[Techno]

I forgot! If I have an array of chars[], how can I show them in a textbox without System.Char[] being shown when I do:

theChars.ToString();

?

Use Encoding.GetString().

Example:

string s = (new System.Text.ASCIIEncoding()).GetString(chars);

[Techno]

that doesnt work and is that not overkill?

[penagate]

Sorry.
This works:

char[] chars = { 'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o' };
ASCIIEncoding a = new ASCIIEncoding();
byte[] bytes = a.GetBytes(chars);
string s = a.GetString(bytes);
Console.WriteLine(s);

I thought there was an easier way too but I've forgotten myself.

How about:

            char[] chars = { 'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o' };
            MessageBox.Show (new string(chars));
