Solution 2

results are not marching with your code. char 347 is 'ś', you may have change the value of variable somewhere else.

C#

using System;

public class Test
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        var a ='a';
        Console.WriteLine((int)a);
            Console.WriteLine((int)'a');
    }
}

result :

VB

97
97

Solution 1

Because they're different things?

In the first statement a is a variable, please use Improve question to show us what type it is and what value you set it to.

In the second statement you are looking at a literal character 'a'. I don't know why it is reporting 347, it should be 97, I suspect you are misrepresenting the situation.
