Help need to convert this code to C#

Question

I 'm not familiar with VB.NET at all. I need to convert this function to C#. Can anyone please give me a hand?

Public Function GetAppGUID(ByVal sectionId As String) As String Dim hexString As String = Nothing Dim i As Integer Dim guidlen As Integer guidlen = 16 If sectionId.Length < guidlen Then sectionId = sectionId & New String(" ".Chars(0), guidlen - sectionId.Length) End If For i = 1 To guidlen hexString = hexString & Hex(Asc(Mid(sectionId, i, 1))) Next GetAppGUID = hexString End Function

could you please explain why you are unable to use an internet search? : developerfusion.com/tools/convert/vb-to-csharp — Mitch Wheat

VB.net is basically pseudo code, curious to know what you plan to do with it if you can't translate some pseudo into c# — jsmith

This is a great opportunity to learn something about another language instead of just having it converted for you. — Jeff Schumacher

C# solution is below

 private string GetAppGUID(string sectionId) { string hexString = null; int i = 0; int guidLength = 0; guidLength = 16; if (sectionId.Length < guidLength) { sectionId = sectionId + new string(" "[0], guidLength - sectionId.Length); } foreach (char c in sectionId) { int tmp = c; hexString += String.Format("{0:x2}", (uint)System.Convert.ToUInt32(tmp.ToString())) } return hexString; }

The method uses some VB specific functions that do not have C# equivalents. The functionality could easily be approximated but to use as is, simply add a reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic.

 public string GetAppGUID(string sectionId) { string hexString = null; int i = 0; int guidlen = 0; guidlen = 16; if (sectionId.Length < guidlen) { sectionId = sectionId + new string(' ', guidlen - sectionId.Length); } for (i = 1; i <= guidlen; i++) { hexString = hexString + Microsoft.VisualBasic.Conversion.Hex(Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings.Asc(Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings.Mid(sectionId, i, 1))); } return hexString; }

tools can only go so far - e.g. Chars(0) - this is likely to confuse.

These tools don't know some VB functions. There is no Conversion.Hex or Strings.Asc, String.Mid in C#. Any help?

Thanks everyone. I kind of talking rubbish before. The tools are good and yes they convert for you. But is confusing right. The tools use Microsoft.VisualBasic to do the

hexString = hexString + Conversion.Hex(Strings.Asc(Strings.Mid(sectionId, i, 1)));

Which is kind of OK. Does anyone see anything wrong with this?

Thanks
