Step 1: Click cs to Cut-n-paste code into clsConvertToChar.cs
using System; public class clsConvertToChar { public void Main() { //**************************************************************************************** // Purpose: Converts Char or first character of string into Char data type // // Syntax: Convert.ToChar(expression) // // Parameter1: expression - char or string // // Result: Char - only first character is used when expression is string // // Quick Example: Convert.ToChar("Test") // Returns T // //**************************************************************************************** // This example is from http://idealprogrammer.com Console.WriteLine("Example #1: Convert.ToChar(string)"); Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToChar("Test")); // Returns T //write blank line to make output easier to read Console.WriteLine(); Console.WriteLine("Example #2: Convert.ToChar(char)"); char myChar = '\0'; myChar = 'A'; Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToChar(myChar)); // Returns A //Prevent console from closing before you press enter Console.ReadLine(); } } |
Step 2: Click cs to Cut-n-paste code into Module1.cs
Module Module1 Sub Main() Dim myclsConvertToChar As New clsConvertToChar myclsConvertToChar.Main() End Sub End Module |
Prerequistes:
- Install C-Sharp (Express or Standard Edition)

- Attach Northwind Database to Databases in Sql Express
- Attach pubs Database to Databases in Sql Express
Notes:
- Console Application is used to simplify things, but Windows Forms or Web Forms could also be used
- You can build a library of syntax examples by using same project over and over and just commenting out what you do not want to execute in Module1.cs
