String.Replace() method "misbehaves" - Resolved

[IlyaRabyy]

Colleagues,
What's worked perfectly in the VS 2012 ain't working in VS 2019 - I'm talking about the function in subject.
This code works

sRetStr.Replace(cChar2Change, "")

but this

sRetStr.Replace(cChar2Change, iCompMethod)

doesn't anymore.
iCompMethod is one of the enumerated comparison types: 0 - case-sensitive, 1 - case insensitive. (See

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/do...tring-system-string-system-stringcomparison))

Just in case - screenshot:

What's more astounding, is that this webpage in MS Documentation has yet another overload: Replace(String, String, Boolean, CultureInfo) - four arguments, not even three!

So, what am I missing here?
Please advise!

Regards,

Ilya

You seem to have managed to hide pretty much all the overloads. Unfortunately, I have no idea how.

Also, Replace is a function, and returns a new string; it does not change the given string (i.e. in your case sRetStr will not be changed)

Solution found!
Replace() in String class indeed has these shortcomings I have described.
But Replace() in Strings has not! Therefore the following code works as expected:

If String.IsNullOrEmpty(sReplacementChars) Then ' The calling proc just wants to delete this Char from the given string - OK!
	sRetStr = Strings.Replace(sRetStr, cChar2Change, "")
Else
	sRetStr = Strings.Replace(sRetStr, cChar2Change, sReplacementChars, 1, -1, iCompMethod)
End If

(I just wonder why there's such difference between String and Strings classes... )
Anyway, problem's resolved, case is closed.
Thank y'al!

Regards,

Ilya
