   ' A string must be one character long to convert to char.
   Try
      charVal = System.Convert.ToChar(stringVal)
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0} as a char is {1}", _
                                stringVal, charVal) & vbCrLf
   Catch exception As System.FormatException
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format( _
       "The string is longer than one character.") & vbCrLf
   Catch exception As System.ArgumentNullException
      outputBlock.Text &= "The string is null." & vbCrLf
   End Try

   ' A char to string conversion will always succeed.
   stringVal = System.Convert.ToString(charVal)
   outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("The character as a string is {0}", _
                             stringVal) & vbCrLf
End Sub
public void ConvertStringChar(string stringVal)
{
   char charVal = 'a';

   // A string must be one character long to convert to char.
   try
   {
      charVal = System.Convert.ToChar(stringVal);
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0} as a char is {1}",
         stringVal, charVal) + "\n";
   }
   catch (System.FormatException)
   {
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format(
         "The string is longer than one character.") + "\n";
   }
   catch (System.ArgumentNullException)
   {
      outputBlock.Text += "The string is null." + "\n";
   }

   // A char to string conversion will always succeed.
   stringVal = System.Convert.ToString(charVal);
   outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The character as a string is {0}",
         stringVal) + "\n";
}
