convert from AscW() integer to string

Dim A As String = "pimp"
Dim B As Integer
Dim C As String

B = AscW(A)

' how do i convert B back to the string pimp
C = 'B

You can't. Using a query such as that will only return the character code for the first letter.
ChrW(B) will demonstrate this and return "p".

Ok, what query can i use to convert string to a integer and be able to convert it back to a string

BToson

Not sure what you are intending to do but something like the code below may work.
Unfortunately I can't think of a better way of doing it right at the moment.

Dim CharacterCodes As New List(Of Integer)
For Each Character In A.ToCharArray
	CharacterCodes.Add(AscW(Character))
Next
 
Dim RebuiltStringWriter As New System.IO.StringWriter
For Each CharacterCode In CharacterCodes
	RebuiltStringWriter.Write(ChrW(CharacterCode))
Next
Dim RebuiltString = RebuiltStringWriter.ToString

sorry i had a meeting. Ok
What do you want to do with "B"?....
Idle Mind: I m using a predefine string in my interface and i can only store integer. so i need the store integer convert back to a string to show the user if they go back to that interface or not.
If it is not possible, i will do it the the long way, using if else statement or case statement

Mike Tomlinson

I'll go with "not possible"...at least not using anything built-in to the .Net framework.

Could you explain more about your interface and the storing of the value?...that doesn't make any sense at the moment.
