string.Substring DOES NOT EXIST

[CodingIsFun]

Anyone come across this.

here is my code:

using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Xml;
using System.Collections;

namespace test
{

public class string_test
{
public string string_test(string t)
{
return t.Substring(1,1);
}
}
}

I get the error t.Substring does not exists
In the command window if I type ? t it returns the string content. If I do the same in the command window t.Substring(1,1) I get the same error.

Am I missing a reference to the string functions.

thanks in advance..

You could change your string to a character array, and then take chunks of that and turn it into a new string.

string to a character array

Only works for western scripts. There are some unicode scripts that make heavy use of surrogates that will cause this to fail. If that's not a problem, then it's a valid approach.

Hey Chip,

Are you writing apps in Chinese again?

You are absolutely correct. But if something as silly as Substring is not working, it may be a valid choice.

Hey, China is a huge market!


I think something more fundamental is wrong with the OP's system, which is why I suggested a reinstall.
