[C#] ASCII File Converter

x BlueRobot · Aug 5, 2013

The program allows you convert any uppercase and lowercase character to it's Decimal ASCII representation, as well as, convert any number (0-9) and special character (apart from \ since it kept thinking I was entering a newline character), such as ? to it's Decimal ASCII representation.

In case, your wondering why the program is at Version 2, it's because I originally posted a half completed DOS version on SevenForums and named it Beta. The changes between the two versions are, as follows:

Added GUI

Added support for lowercase characters, special characters and numbers.

Just as a mention, this was far beyond what was needed in order to achieve this kind of functionality:

Code:

switch (char.Parse(this.upperCase.Text))
      {
        case 'A':
          this.upperCaseDEC.Text = "65";
          break;
        case 'B':
          this.upperCaseDEC.Text = "66";
          break;
        case 'C':
          this.upperCaseDEC.Text = "67";
          break;
        case 'D':
          this.upperCaseDEC.Text = "68";

etc...

You can do conversions directly:

Code:

char c = 'A';
int x = (int)c;

And for the "\" issue, all you needed was to double up on that character to escape itself. There's also the string verbatim. But as soon as you mentioned having this issue with the "\" character, I knew you were doing something perhaps not very efficient in your code... As that wouldn't happen with user input into a textbox for instance.
