String Functions "Does Not Exist"

[neilkonitzer]

I know that my problem has got to be something really stupid...

For some reason, all my string methods do not work, even though intellisense picks them up as valid.

For example:
string Test1 = "Test";
string Test2 = Test1.Substring(0,2);

The second line returns an error stating "error: "Test1.SubString' does not exist.

Has anyone encountered this before? This applies to all the standard string methods.

The following code will work:
using System;
namespace XXX
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for Class1.
/// </summary>
public class Class1
{
public Class1()
{
//
// TODO: Add constructor logic here
//
}
void private Foo()
{
string Test1 = &quot;Test&quot;;
string Test2 = Test1.Substring(0,2);
//....
}

}
}

but I think you put the two statements ouside of any function, and you cannot do that.

Thanks for helping out here. My code is indeed inside a valid class function though.

Are you using the StringBuilder class?
You'll need the &quot;System.Text&quot; namespace for that.

If that is the exact error message, then the problem is that you got the case wrong (because C# is case sensitive). In your sample code you wrote it correctly though (&quot;Substring&quot, so either your sample code isn't as you have it on your computer, or the error message has a typo.

Something to check anyway.

Hi,
Can you build a small application without using System.String ?
If yes then please add only one statement like string Test1=&quot;&quot;; somewhere and post the code if it doesn't work.
