I am attempting to create a variable or string from "Convert.ToChar(b[i])" within the following context:
byte[] b = new byte[100];
int k = s.Receive(b);
Console.WriteLine("Recieved...");
for (int i = 0; i < k; i++)
Console.Write(Convert.ToChar(b[i]));
E.g.:
var str = Convert.ToChar(b[i]);
But the above does not work, as "i" is not defined within the current context
Is it just a case of the for loop not being given adequate scope? Try the following...
byte[] b = new byte[100];
int k = s.Receive(b);
Console.WriteLine("Recieved...");
for (int i = 0; i < k; i++)
{
Console.Write(Convert.ToChar(b[i]));
var myVariable = Convert.ToChar(b[i]);
}
Note that if you didn't include the curly braces, the for loop would only have scope of the first line beneath it, and so the var = Convert.ToChar(b[i]); line would not be able to access the i variable in the loop scope.
That's why I always make sure I put the curly braces in the code for a loop, even if it is for a single line within the loop - it is easy to track the scope of the loop that way.
It's fairly unclear what you mean, but it sounds like you might want:
byte[] b = new byte[100];
int k = s.Receive(b);
Console.WriteLine("Received...");
string text = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(b, 0, k);
Note that ASCII isn't the only possible encoding here - the correct one to use will depend on what the protocol you're using dictates.
That's because i exists only within the for loop.
Try adding all the values into an array and then access a specific item from it.
In your case, since you want to create a string in your code you could use StringBuilder to create the string. For example:
StringBuilder a = new StringBuilder();
a.Append(Convert.ToChar(b[i]);
string str = a.ToString();
or in your example it would be:
byte[] b = new byte[100];
int k = s.Receive(b);
Console.WriteLine("Recieved...");
StringBuilder a = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < k; i++)
{
a.Append(Convert.ToChar(b[i]);
}
string str = a.ToString();
