I'm able to convert a character to its corresponding character/ASCII code using "Asc(CHAR)". What can I use to convert this returned integer back to its original character form?

The Chr function in VB.NET converts the integer back to the character:

Dim i As Integer = Asc("x") ' Convert to ASCII integer.
Dim x As Char = Chr(i)      ' Convert ASCII integer to char.
