title: How To Convert a Single Byte to a String
body: <p>I am using C# in Visual Studio 2010.</p>
  
  <p>I want to convert a byte (8 bit int) to a string that's one character long. I need to do this because I want to send the byte value over serial to an Arduino.</p>
  
  <p>For example, let's say</p>
  
  <pre><code>byte myByte = 49;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>49 is the ASCII code for the character "1". I want to convert myByte into myString, such that if I did</p>
  
  <pre><code>serialport1.Write(myString);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It would function the same as</p>
  
  <pre><code>serialport1.Write("1");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can anyone help me out?</p>
