Convert a Character to the String in C#

Last Updated : 26 May, 2020

Given a character, the task is to character to the string in C#.

Examples:

Input :  X = 'a'  Output : string S = "a"    Input :  X = 'A'  Output : string S = "A"

Approach: The idea is to use ToString() method, the argument is the character and it returns string converting Unicode character to the string.

// convert the character x  // to string s  public string ToString(IFormatProvider provider);

C#

   // C# program to character to the string 
using System; 
  
public class GFG{ 
      
    static string getString(char x)  
    { 
        // Char.ToString() is a System.Char  
        // struct method which is used  
        // to convert the value of this 
        // instance to its equivalent 
        // string representation 
        string str = x.ToString(); 
          
        return str; 
    } 
    
    static void Main(string[] args) 
    { 
        char chr = 'A'; 
        Console.WriteLine("Type of "+ chr +" : " + chr.GetType()); 
          
        string str = getString(chr); 
        Console.WriteLine("Type of "+ str +" : " + str.GetType()); 
  
    } 
}
 
  

Output:

Type of A : System.Char  Type of A : System.String
