    <p>Here's the problem:</p> <p>In C# I'm getting information from a legacy ACCESS database. .NET converts the content of the database (in the case of this problem a string) to Unicode before handing the content to me.</p> <p>How do I convert this Unicode string back to it's ASCII equivalent?</p> <p><hr> <strong>Edit</strong><br> Unicode char 710 is indeed MODIFIER LETTER CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT. Here's the problem a bit more precise: </p> <pre> -> (Extended) ASCII character ê (Extended ASCII 136) was inserted in the database. -> Either Access or the reading component in .NET converted this to U+02C6 U+0065 (MODIFIER LETTER CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT + LATIN SMALL LETTER E) -> I need the (Extended) ASCII character 136 back. </pre> <p><hr> Here's what I've tried (I see now why this did not work...):</p> <pre><code>string myInput = Convert.ToString(Convert.ToChar(710)); byte[] asBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(myInput); </code></pre> <p>But this does not result in 94 but a byte with value 63...<br> Here's a new try but it still does not work:</p> <pre><code>byte[] bytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("ê"); </code></pre> <p><hr> <strong>Soltution</strong><br> Thanks to both <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/138449/how-to-convert-a-unicode-character-to-its-extended-ascii-equivalent#138579">csgero</a> and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/138449/how-to-convert-a-unicode-character-to-its-extended-ascii-equivalent#138583">bzlm</a> for pointing in the right direction I solved the problem <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/138449/how-to-convert-a-unicode-character-to-its-ascii-equivalent#141816">here</a>.</p>

    1. COThe term "Extended ASCII" is confusing. If your input data is indeed ASCII, then there is no ë or a "character number 136". It is more likely your data contains characters not representable by ASCII, such as international data representable by legacy 8-bit encodings like Windows-1252.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
