I'm trying to convert an integer to a dchar.  The solution below 
works but seems like overkill.

     dstring dstrValue = to!dstring(5);
     dchar dcharValue = to!dchar(dstrValue);

... this,

     dchar dcharValue = to!dchar(5);

... writes out '\x005' ..or something close to that.

dchar dstrValue = '5';

Thanks Steve.  I need to covert something like this:
     int myvar = 5;
How would I convert myvar to a dchar?

What exactly do you mean by "convert an integer to a dchar"?  Do you
mean converting an integer between 0 and 9 into a dchar representing its
digit value, or do you mean creating a dchar containing the unicode code
point represented by the int?

For the former:

	dchar ch = '0' + intValue;

(Though you will have to consider what should happen if intValue > 9.)

For the latter:

	dchar ch = cast(dchar) intValue;

This! Thanks Teoh.
