C# Get HashTable Value by Key

htSegmentFields.Add("MSH","23");

string strSegmentName = "MSH";
int intSegmentFieldsMax = 0;
intSegmentFieldsMax = Convert.ToInt16(htSegmentFields[strSegmentName].ToString());

intSegmentFieldsMax would equal 23 using the command above to access the value by the key "MSH".

C# Char for CR/LF in ASCII Hex / Decimal

"\r" = chr(13) also CR ASCII Dec 13 / Hex 0D.
"\n" = chr(10) also LF ASCII Dec 10 / Hex 0A.

C# Convert Integer to Hex

// convert integer to hex
strChrAsciiHexValue = String.Format("{0:X2}", intChar);

Play on Letters / Acronym

I'd heard the C# was named C# by putting the 2 '+' plus characters together to make the # symbol. And that makes sense. First came C, C+, C++ & C#.

I just noticed an association I hadn't made before. 'C' is the 3rd letter of the alphabet. On your keyboard '#' shares the key with 3.

If the first time is a throw away... then C# is version 3 of C.

Ok... I'll stop there.
