How do i convert a char to a System::String^?

I have this:

MIDL

System::String^ text;
 text = UART_WriteBuffer[UART_WriteIndexTail].ToString();

where UART_WriteBuffer is a char[] and it contains "at\r". UART_WriteIndexTail ranges from 0 to 2.

I want text to contain "a" after the conversion but it contains "97" the ASCII value of "a" represented as a string.

If you need a single character then you may do

C++

System::String ^ text = gcnew String("");
str += (wchar_t) a[0];

Solution 1

Easy way to do this is to create String^ from the character array and use the indexer on string.

String^ text = gcnew String(UART_WriteBuffer);

Now you can write text[UART_WriteIndexTail].ToString()
