Question

I’d like to be able to get a char array of all the printable characters in C#, does anybody know how to do this?

edit:

By printable I mean the visible European characters, so yes, umlauts, tildes, accents etc.

Answer 1

This will give you a list with all characters that are not considered control characters:

List<Char> printableChars = new List<char>();
for (int i = char.MinValue; i <= char.MaxValue; i++)
{
    char c = Convert.ToChar(i);
    if (!char.IsControl(c))
    {
        printableChars.Add(c);
    }
}

You may want to investigate the other Char.IsXxxx methods to find a combination that suits your requirements.
