Try tochar(99) -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of DaShiell, Jude T. CIV NAVAIR 1490, 1, 26 Sent: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 12:44 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Visualstudio 2008 question Importance: Low I'm using the Console.Read() function to get user input from the terminal. That function returns 99 when a lower case c is typed which is the decimal representation for that letter. So far, I've found nothing that converts 99 to a lower case letter c. I did try MC.ToString() and that had no useable effect at all. Does anyone know what the conversion function for this is in visual studio?
