How can I get characters code?

[ovi_gm]

Hello,

I am trying to concat two strings at runtime and between them I want to insert a special character that I found in charmap in windows.

There are many characters and their code is written in the down-left corner of the window.

For example if I want to insert the diameter (Ø) character in a string that has U+00D8 how do I make this at runtime.

Also I will have to check if this character exists or not in a textbox. (If textBox1.Text.Contains(......code???......) Then...)

Thx.

The U+00D8 means a Unicode value of D8 in hexadecimal, which is 216 in decimal. The Convert.ToChar method will create a Char from an Integer containing its Unicode value, e.g.

Dim ch = Convert.ToChar(&HD8)

You can then concatenate a Char with a String exactly as you would another String.

Thank you. I got it.

Since it sounds like you may use this character often, you may consider creating a static variable so that wherever you you it, you can just use the static variable instead of having to keep using Covert.ToChar() function all over the place.

Is there any reason why Chr(&HD8) isn't adequate here?
