Get ASCII string

I'm just wondering if there is in .Net framework method which returns ASCII chars sequence? Something like:

public static string ascii()
{
    return "abcdefghijklmnuopqrstuvwxyz";
}

In fact String already implements IEnumerable<Char>, so your code is already you need. But you can make it more specific by changeing the return type:

    public IEnumerable<Char> Ascii
    {
        get
        {
            return "abcdefghiklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
        }
    }

If you really like to make it in a more LINQish way you could also write:

    public IEnumerable<Char> Ascii2
    {
        get
        {
            return Enumerable.Range((int)'a', 26).Select(i => (char)i);
        }
    }

Uhm, you wrote it there. And no, there is nothing in the framework to do so. Why would there be? This method isn't solving a particular problem and it's downright trivial to write yourself. Note though, that the naming convention would dictate the name Ascii :-)
