C# Substring Example Syntax | C-Sharp String Method | Source Code

Purpose: – Illustrates the for .




Step 1: Click on C# to Cut-n-paste code into clsSubstring.cs

using System;
public class clsSubstring
{
 
    public void Main()
    {
 
 
 
        //****************************************************************************************
        // Example #1: Substring(startIndex[, length])
        // Returns the string that starts at the specified position and has the specified
        // length. If the length is not specified, all of the characters to the end are returned.
        //****************************************************************************************
 
        Console.WriteLine("Example #1: Substring(startIndex[, length]) ");
 
        string strSubstringExample = "This is a test string";
        int intIndexSubstring = 0;
 
        // First find position of word test
        intIndexSubstring = strSubstringExample.IndexOf("test");
 
        // Get everything starting at "test" to end of string
        Console.WriteLine(strSubstringExample.Substring(intIndexSubstring));
 
        //write blank line to make output easier to read
        Console.WriteLine();
 
        //Prevent console from closing before you press enter
        Console.ReadLine();
 
    }
 
 
}

Step 2: Click on C# to Cut-n-paste code into Program.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
 
nameSubstring CSharp_Syntax
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
 
 
            clsSubstring mySubstring = new clsSubstring();
            mySubstring.Main();
 
        }
    }
}

Prerequistes:

  1. Install C# (Express or Standard Edition)
  2. Install SQL Server Express
  3. Download Northwind and pubs Database
  4. Attach Northwind Database to Databases in Sql Express
  5. Attach pubs Database to Databases in Sql Express

Notes:

  • Console Application is used to simplify things, but Windows Forms or Web Forms could also be used
  • You can build a library of syntax examples by using same project over and over and just commenting out what you do not want to execute in Program.cs
