• Visual Studio Express Editions How do you insert a byte in a string (without expansion)?

  Is there any way to insert a byte in a string without this byte being converted to more ASCII characters For example: Dim A As Byte = 85 ' This is an ASCII "U" Dim S As String = "Start " S = S & A In this case, VB tries to be intelligent and insert two characters - 8 and 5 - inserted of one byte - the ASCII U.
