generate sequence letters

Deepak Gupta

I want to generate the sequence of letter like A,B,C,D,E.....Z, AA, AB, AC.... Here is my code: char Letter = Char.Parse("A"); int Count = 50; for (int i = 0; i < Count; i++) { Response.write(Letter); Letter++; } It works fine for the letters A to Z but after that it shows the symbols. Can someone please edit it or give me any idea how to get the sequence after Z? Thanks!

Hi,
Try this

            char Letter = Char.Parse("A");

            int Count = 52;

            for (int i = 0; i < Count; i++)

                if (i == 26)

                    Letter = Char.Parse("A");

                if(i<26)

                   Response.Write(Letter);

                else

                   Response.Write("A" + Letter);

                Letter++;

Thanks for the response but I wanted to use these value in a complex loop and i have only one loop to traverse the value of character. So i want to generate the series with a single loop.

you can't get AA,AB sequence by letter var increment.you have to prefix A before every letter to get this sequence.

like

   char Letter = Char.Parse("A");
            int Count = 26;
            for (int i = 0; i < Count; i++)
            {
                    Response.Write(Letter);
                    Letter++;
            }
            Letter = Char.Parse("A");
            for (int i = 0; i < Count; i++)
            {
                Response.Write("A"+Letter);
                Letter++;
            }
