Initializes a new instance of the String class to the value indicated by a specified Unicode character repeated a specified number of times.

[Visual Basic]
Public Sub New( _
   ByVal c As Char, _
   ByVal count As Integer _
)
[C#]
public String(
   char c,
 int count
);
[C++]
public: String(
   __wchar_t c,
 int count
);
[JScript]
public function String(
   c : Char,
 count : int
);

Parameters

c

A Unicode character.

count

The number of times c occurs.

Example

[C#, C++] The following simple code example demonstrates how you can create an instance of the String class with this constructor.

[C#] 
// Create a Unicode String with 5 Greek Alpha characters
String szGreekAlpha = new String('\u0319',5);
// Create a Unicode String with a Greek Omega character
String szGreekOmega = new String(new char [] {'\u03A9','\u03A9','\u03A9'},2,1);

String szGreekLetters = String.Concat(szGreekOmega, szGreekAlpha, szGreekOmega.Clone());

// Examine the result
Console.WriteLine(szGreekLetters);

// The first index of Alpha
int ialpha = szGreekLetters.IndexOf('\u0319');
// The last index of Omega
int iomega = szGreekLetters.LastIndexOf('\u03A9');

Console.WriteLine("The Greek letter Alpha first appears at index " + ialpha +
    " and Omega last appears at index " + iomega + " in this String.");

[C++] 
// Create a Unicode String with 5 Greek Alpha characters
String* szGreekAlpha = new String(L'\x0319',5);
// Create a Unicode String with a Greek Omega character
wchar_t charArray5 [3] = {L'\x03A9',L'\x03A9',L'\x03A9'};
String* szGreekOmega = new String( charArray5 ,2,1);

String* szGreekLetters = String::Concat(szGreekOmega, szGreekAlpha, szGreekOmega->Clone());

// Examine the result
Console::WriteLine(szGreekLetters);

// The first index of Alpha
int ialpha = szGreekLetters->IndexOf(L'\x0319');
// The last index of Omega
int iomega = szGreekLetters->LastIndexOf(L'\x03A9');

Console::WriteLine(String::Concat("The Greek letter Alpha first appears at index ",Convert::ToString(ialpha) ));
Console::WriteLine(String::Concat(" and Omega last appears at index ", Convert::ToString(iomega), " in this String."));
