I need to convert ascii charcode 182 to a char.

in vb it was just chr(182) but i dont know how to do it in c#

thanks in advance.
 
is this what you need?
Code:
char num182 = (char)182;

Age is a consequence of experience
 
FYI:
182 is in the ANSI range, not the ASCII range of allowable values (ASCII is 0..127)

Also, converting it to an ANSI value will depend on which codepage you intend to use it with. 182 may result in different character representation (glyphs) depending on if you're using the original DOS OEM codepage, or the codepage for Thailand.

Beyond what's already been mentioned, any character conversion needs would be available in the System.Text namespace; refer to System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.
