Urgent easy question? Asc(a) to C#

Ok, I know you are trying to convert each char to ASCII value. If thats correct you need to use System.Text namespace and Encoding.ASCII. Take a look at the following microsoft example

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemtextencodingclassasciitopic.asp

Good luck

c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mspos\receipts.aspx.cs(82,10): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'ascii' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I raised it to 150.
private string DecodeReceipt (string szBill)
            {
                  string szNewBill;
                  szNewBill = "";
                  // Create an ASCII encoding.
                  Encoding ascii = Encoding.ASCII;
                  //Byte[] encodedBytes = ascii.GetBytes(unicodeString);
                  //String decodedString = ascii.GetString(encodedBytes);
                        
                  //Byte[] encodedBytes = ascii.GetBytes(unicodeString);

                  for (int i = 1; i <= szBill.Length-1;i++)
                  {
                        char a = szBill[i];
                        if ((ascii.GetBytes)(a) ==10 || (ascii.GetBytes)(a) ==15 || (ascii.GetBytes)(a)==18 || (ascii.GetBytes)(a) ==27)
                        {}          
                        else if ((ascii.GetBytes)(a) == 13)
                              szNewBill = "";
                        else
                              szNewBill = szNewBill + a;
                  }
                  return szNewBill;
            }

Ok, I didnt mean to say you should Encoding.ASCII as namespace. All you need to do is include System.Text at the top where all the using statements are, as follows

using System.Text;

I am going to modify your code as I understood wht you are doing


private string DecodeReceipt (string szBill)
          {
               string szNewBill;
               szNewBill = "";
               // Create an ASCII encoding.
               Encoding ascii = Encoding.ASCII;
               //Byte[] encodedBytes = ascii.GetBytes(unicodeString);
               //String decodedString = ascii.GetString(encodedBytes);
                   
               Byte[] encodedBytes = ascii.GetBytes(szNewBill );

              foreach (Byte a in encodedBytes)
              {
                   if ( a ==10 || a ==15 ||a==18 ||a ==27)
                    {}          
                    else if (a == 13)
                         szNewBill = "";
                    else
                         szNewBill = szNewBill +(char) a;

               }
       return szNewBill;
}

But onething I still do not understand, why are you making szNewBill=""; at the beginning of the for loop.

good luck

BEcause I want to build a new string.
From one that has binary characters. Is this right?

ok my mistake, I havent seen szBill and szNewBill as different, let me rewrite the above code again

private string DecodeReceipt (string szBill)
          {
               string szNewBill;
               szNewBill = "";
              // Create an ASCII encoding.
               Encoding ascii = Encoding.ASCII;

               Byte[] encodedBytes = ascii.GetBytes(szBill );

              foreach (Byte a in encodedBytes)
              {
                   if ( a ==10 || a ==15 ||a==18 ||a ==27)
                    {}          
                    else if (a == 13)
                         szNewBill = "";
                    else
                         szNewBill = szNewBill +(char) a;
               }
       return szNewBill;
}

                  Byte[] encodedBytes = ascii.GetBytes(szNewBill);

                  foreach (Byte a in encodedBytes)
                  {
                        if ( a ==10 || a ==15 ||a==18 ||a ==27)

                  }
                  return szNewBill;
            }

Sorry pal. I dont see why that error is coming. As you can see, we declared the encodedBytes in the method itself, with

Byte[] encodedBytes = ascii.GetBytes(szNewBill);

I hope you added using System.Text; on the top
And also I hope you are not trying to use it outside the method.

Dude, you are using wrong code from what I gave you,

This is the following I gave, please use that and compile

private string DecodeReceipt (string szBill)
          {
               string szNewBill="";
                             
               // Create an ASCII encoding.
               Encoding ascii = Encoding.ASCII;
                       
               Byte[] encodedBytes = ascii.GetBytes(szBill);

               foreach (Byte a in encodedBytes)
               {
                    if ( a ==10 || a ==15 ||a==18 ||a ==27)
                    {}          
                    else if (a == 13)
                         szNewBill = "";
                    else
                         szNewBill = szNewBill +(char) a;

               }
               return szNewBill;
          }

char a = 'a';
char.GetNumericValue(a);

Just want to understand the feed back here
this is the method getatoi?

char.GetNumericValue(a);
