// This example is from http://idealprogrammer.com
// It shows how you can use IndexOf syntax in C-Sharp ASP.NET
//****************************************************************************************
// Example #1: IndexOf(string[, startIndex][,count])
// Returns an integer that represents the position of the first occurrence of the
// specified number of characters. If you specify startIndex, that specifies
// where to start looking. If you specify count, that specifies how many characters to 
// to search past start. If the string is not found, this method returns -1
//****************************************************************************************
 
 
public partial class StringManipulation_IndexOf : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Label1.Text = "Example #1: IndexOf(string[, startIndex][,count]) ";
 
        string strIndexOfExample = "This is a test string";
 
        Label2.Text = strIndexOfExample.IndexOf("is").ToString(); //Returns 2
 
        Label3.Text = strIndexOfExample.IndexOf("xyz").ToString(); //Returns -1 (not found)
 
    }
}

Step 2: Click on XML to Cut-n-paste code into IndexOf.aspx
