Force C# to use ASCII

Question

I\'m working on an application in C# and need to read and write from a particular datafile format. The only issue at the moment is that the format uses strictly single byte

Answer 1

If you want this in .NET, you could use F# to make a library supporting this. F# supports ASCII strings, with a byte array as the underlying type, see Literals (F#) (MSDN):

let asciiString = "This is a string"B
