String.IndexOf Method (Char, Int32)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Reports the zero-based index of the first occurrence of the specified Unicode character in this string. The search starts at a specified character position.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function IndexOf ( _
    value As Char, _
    startIndex As Integer _
) As Integer
public int IndexOf(
    char value,
    int startIndex
)

Parameters

  • startIndex
    Type: System.Int32
    The search starting position.

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
The zero-based index position of value if that character is found, or -1 if it is not.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

startIndex is less than zero or greater than the length of this string instance.

Remarks

Index numbering starts from zero. startIndex can range from 0 to one less than the length of the string instance.

The search ranges from startIndex to the end of the string.

The search for value is case-sensitive.

This method performs an ordinal (culture-insensitive) search, where a character is considered equivalent to another character only if their Unicode scalar values are the same. To perform a culture-sensitive search, use the CompareInfo.IndexOf method, where a Unicode scalar value representing a precomposed character, such as the ligature 'Æ' (U+00C6), might be considered equivalent to any occurrence of the character's components in the correct sequence, such as "AE" (U+0041, U+0045), depending on the culture.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the IndexOf method.

' Sample for String.IndexOf(Char, Int32)

Module Example

      Dim str As String = "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party."
      Dim start As Integer
      Dim at As Integer

      outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf

      outputBlock.Text &= "The letter 't' occurs at position(s): "

      at = 0
      start = 0
      While start < str.Length AndAlso at > -1
