| IndexOf Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overloaded. Reports the index of the first occurrence of a String, or one or more characters, within this instance. |
| IndexOfAny Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overloaded. Reports the index of the first occurrence in this instance of any character in a specified array of Unicode characters. |
| Insert Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Inserts a specified instance of String at a specified index position in this instance. |
| Intern Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Retrieves the system's reference to the specified String. |
| IsInterned Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Retrieves a reference to a specified String. |
| Join Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overloaded. Concatenates a specified separator String between each element of a specified String array, yielding a single concatenated string. |
| LastIndexOf Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overloaded. Reports the index position of the last occurrence of a specified Unicode character or String within this instance. |
| LastIndexOfAny Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overloaded. Reports the index position of the last occurrence in this instance of one or more characters specified in a Unicode array. |
| PadLeft Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overloaded. Right-aligns the characters in this instance, padding on the left with spaces or a specified Unicode character for a specified total length. |
| PadRight Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overloaded. Left-aligns the characters in this string, padding on the right with spaces or a specified Unicode character, for a specified total length. |
| Remove Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Deletes a specified number of characters from this instance beginning at a specified position. |
| Replace Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overloaded. Replaces all occurrences of a specified Unicode character or String in this instance, with another specified Unicode character or String. |
| Split Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overloaded. Identifies the substrings in this instance that are delimited by one or more characters specified in an array, then places the substrings into a String array. |
| StartsWith Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Determines whether the beginning of this instance matches the specified String. |
| Substring Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overloaded. Retrieves a substring from this instance. |
| ToCharArray Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overloaded. Copies the characters in this instance to a Unicode character array. |
| ToLower Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overloaded. Returns a copy of this String in lowercase. |
| ToString Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overloaded. Overridden. Converts the value of this instance to a String. |
| ToUpper Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overloaded. Returns a copy of this String in uppercase. |
| Trim Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overloaded. Removes all occurrences of a set of specified characters from the beginning and end of this instance. |
| TrimEnd Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Removes all occurrences of a set of characters specified in an array from the end of this instance. |
| TrimStart Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Removes all occurrences of a set of characters specified in an array from the beginning of this instance. |
Protected Methods
| Finalize (inherited from Object)
Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Overridden. Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection.
In C# and C++, finalizers are expressed using destructor syntax. |
| MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object)
Supported by the .NET Compact Framework. | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. |
