Identifier expected when using String.char

[TheDust]

I am getting the following error:
CS1041: Identifier expected, 'char' is a keyword

Below is a simplified version of what I'm doing. (C#)

using System;

public class classAddProject : System.Web.UI.Page {
  protected void Submit_Click(Object Src, EventArgs E) {
    string date = "something";
    if (date.char[x - 1] == "/") {
      // stuff happens
    }
  }
}

Does "char" have its own separate namespace that needs declaring, and if so, how? Any help is appreciated...

Try Chars
date.chars[x - 1]

No, that comes up with:

'string' does not contain a definition for 'chars'

Any other ideas?

C # is case-sensitive is it not?

Try
date.Chars[x - 1]

Capitalizing 'chars' to 'Chars' does nothing. ASP.NET is still telling me that 'string' does not contain a definition for 'Chars'...

 

[link9]

the string class has an indexer on it.

So:

date[x - 1]

should work (Although the docs do show a .Chars property, which should do the same thing).

Cool... that did it, thanks!

I wonder why I could not find any examples of this anywhere... oh well. Again, thanks a lot!
