Okay, are you still here? Your code in VB.Net

Private Function DecryptPassWord(ByVal PassWord As String) As String
       Dim i As Integer
       Dim dcrpChar, dcrpString As String
       dcrpChar = ""
       dcrpString = ""
       For i = 1 To Len(PassWord)
           dcrpChar = 275 - Asc(Mid(PassWord, i, 1))
           dcrpString = Chr(dcrpChar) & dcrpString
       Next i
       DecryptPassWord = dcrpString
   End Function

translates to in C# as

...First, in your code, the code Asc(Mid(PassWord, i, 1)). You should know that the functions Asc() and Mid() are not available, the first thing you should do is import Microsoft.VisualBasic so, in your using statements, you should add

using Microsoft.VisualBasic;

Now, your code would be....

private string decryptpassword(string password)
{
  string dcrpChar, dcrpString;
  dcrpChar="";
  dcrpString="";
  for (int i=1; i<=password.Length(); i+=1)
  {
           dcrpChar = 275 - Asc(PassWord.Substring( i, 1));
           //For the line above, you could use.
           //dcrpChar = 275 - Microsoft.VisualBasic.Asc(PassWord.Substring(i, 1));
           dcrpString = (Char)dcrpChar + dcrpString;
   }
  return dcrpString;
}

Hi,

Here's a link to a webpage where you can convert VB.NET to C#:
http://www.developerfusion.com/tools/convert/vb-to-csharp/[^]

private string decryptpassword(string password)
{
  int i;
  string dcrpChar, dcrpString;
  dcrpChar="";
  dcrpString="";
  for (int i=1; i<=password.Length(); i+=1)
  {
           dcrpChar = 275 - Asc(PassWord.Substring( i, 1)); // check the ascii function, it might not be available in c#
           dcrpString = (Char)dcrpChar + dcrpString;
   }
  return dcrpString;
}

I'm assuming you're translating a whole VB application to C#, you are not using native code interop, and you have no passwords encrypted with this routine stored anywhere, if so, any of these translations should work for you (they are equivalent):

static private string DecryptPassword(string PassWord)
{
    int i;
    string dcrpString = "";

    for (i = 0; i < PassWord.Length; i++)
        dcrpString = (char)(275 - PassWord[i]) + dcrpString;
    return dcrpString;
}

static private string DecryptPassword(string PassWord)
{
    int i;
    string dcrpString = "";

    for (i = PassWord.Length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
        dcrpString += (char)(275 - PassWord[i]);
    return dcrpString;
}

Please note, if you call a VB routine that uses strings from C# (through Interop) I think this won't work because VB stores strings different from .NET (if I remember correctly).
