            MyStreamReader.Close();

I am trying to read each character from a file but each character is a unicode character. This code works and does what I want it to do apart from the one problem of it giving me the unicode value in a number. E.g.

If i want to read "Hello World!" it gives me This instead:

25928 27756 8303 28503 27762 8548

How do i make it so that if it says "Hello World!" in a text file it reads the file and inserts the 1st character (H) in to text box 1 and the 2nd character (E) in to text box 2 ?

I have finished my 2 month long project and I just need to fix this minor bug before releasing. Please help.

What would happen if you changed line 28 of your code into char ch;?

like

char ch;

??

I get 170 errors - "Error 2 Cannot implicitly convert type 'int' to 'char'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)"

when i change the lines with text boxes to char ch; at the start i get the error Error 1 A local variable named 'ch' is already defined in this scope

I have a file with unicode chars.
I need to extract each unicode character and assign to a variable e.g. textBox1.Text

The following two lines will read the first character in the file:

System.IO.StreamReader MyStreamReader = new System.IO.StreamReader(l_filename, System.Text.Encoding.Unicode);

int ch = MyStreamReader.Read(); textBox1.Text = ch.ToString();

The first character in the file is a single 's' however, when I inspect the contents of textBox1.Text, the value is 83.

The letter i am trying to put in textBox1.Text, is the letter 's' but all i get is the value 83

How do i convert the number 83 in to the letter s ?

Well that was just my point with the char answer I gave you.
The Read() method returns an integer which can be interpreted as an ASCII code. So instead of textBox1.Text = ch.ToString(); Which gives you the ASCII code converted to a string, you have to do something like this:

char c = (char)ch; //casting
            textBox1.Text = c.ToString(); //etc
            // or
            char d = Convert.ToChar(ch); //converting
            textBox1.Text = d.ToString(); //etc
