'string' does not contain a definition for 'Chars' - WHAT??

[TheDust]

Yes, I am getting this error, Error CS0117: 'string' does not contain a definition for 'Chars'. I'm at a loss here... anyone know what I'm missing here??? (it's C#)

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.OleDb;

public class classEditContact : System.Web.UI.Page {

string checkEscapeChars(string strInput) {
for (int x=0; x < (strInput.Length - 1); x++) {
if (strInput.Chars[x] == &quot;'&quot {
strInput.Insert(x, &quot;'&quot;
}
}
return strInput;
}

}
If anyone can help me out here, it'd be much appreciated, cuz I'm kind of tearin' my hair out here...

The string object offers an index property directly on the object, so:

strInput.Chars[x]

should be:

strInput[x]
