Binaryworld - AsciiEncode - Convert a string to its ASCII representation ... [ ASP.net -> General ]

' Convert a string to its ASCII representation
' Example: Response.Write(AsciiEncode("hello"))
' ==> hello
'
' Note: this may be useful when you're producing the code for HTML forms with
' hidden/visible field, and you want to make a little more difficult for the
' user to understand the name (you can also "encrypt" the name,
' not just the value) and value of those fields, if they look at the page's
' source code. The browser will correctly interpret the values anyway.

Function AsciiEncode(ByVal value As String) As String
  Dim encValue As New System.Text.StringBuilder(value.Length * 6)
  Dim c As Char
  ' encode each char to its ASCII representation
  For Each c In value
    encValue.Append("&#")
    encValue.Append(Convert.ToInt32(c))
    encValue.Append(";")
  Next
  Return encValue.ToString()
End Function
