IndexOf Example Syntax VB.NET ASP.NET | IndexOf | Source Code
Summary: – Illustrates using IndexOf with Source Code Syntax Example in VB.NET ASP.NET.
*** 2. IndexOf Syntax ***
Purpose:
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
Syntax:
string.IndexOf(matchstring[, startIndex][,count])
Parameters |
Description |
string |
Required – string to be searched
|
matchstring |
Required – string that you are looking
for in parameter1
|
startIndex |
Optional. specifies where to start looking. Zero-based.
|
count |
Optional. specifies how many characters to
to search past start.
|
Result Data Type |
Description |
integer |
Returns an integer that represents the position of the first
occurrence of the specified number of characters. If the string is not found,
this method returns -1. The integer returned is a zero-based index so the first
position is represented by 0 instead of 1.
|
*** 3. IndexOf – Quick Example ***
|
Dim strIndexOfExample As String = “This is a test string”
TextBox1.Text = strIndexOfExample.IndexOf(“is”) ‘Returns 2
TextBox2.Text = strIndexOfExample.IndexOf(“xyz”) ‘Returns -1 (not found)
