The following example converts each element in an array of unsigned integers to a Char value.

Dim numbers() As UInteger = { UInt32.MinValue, 40, 160, 255, 1028, _
                              2011, 30001, 207154, Int32.MaxValue }
Dim result As Char
For Each number As UInteger In numbers
   Try
      result = Convert.ToChar(number)
      Console.WriteLine("{0} converts to '{1}'.", number, result)
   Catch e As OverflowException
      Console.WriteLine("{0} is outside the range of the Char data type.", _
                        number)
   End Try
Next
