Represents a sequential collection of Unicode characters that is used to represent text. For more information and examples, see Strings (C++/CX).

C++


public ref class String sealed : Object,
    IDisposable,
    IEquatable,
    IPrintable

Iterators

Two iterator functions, which are not members of the String class, can be used with the std::for_each template function to enumerate the characters in a String object.

Member	Description
const char16* begin(String^ s)	Returns a pointer to the beginning of the specified String object.
const char16* end(String^ s)	Returns a pointer past the end of the specified String object.

Members

The String class inherits from Object, and the IDisposable, IEquatable, and IPrintable interfaces.

The String class also has the following types of members.

Constructors

Member	Description
String::String Constructor	Initializes a new instance of the String class.

Methods

The String class inherits the Equals(), Finalize(), GetHashCode(), GetType(), MemberwiseClose(), and ToString() methods from the Platform::Object Class. String also has the following methods.

Method	Description
String::Begin Method	Returns a pointer to the beginning of the current string.
String::CompareOrdinal Method	Compares two String objects by evaluating the numeric values of the corresponding characters in the two string values represented by the objects.
String::Concat Method	Concatenates the values of two String objects.
String::Data Method	Returns a pointer to the beginning of the current string.
String::Dispose Method	Frees or releases resources.
String::End Method	Returns a pointer past the end of the current string.
String::Equals Method	Indicates whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
String::GetHashCode Method	Returns the hash code for this instance.
String::IsEmpty Method	Indicates whether the current String object is empty.
String::IsFastPass Method	Indicates whether the current String object is is participating in a fast pass operation. In a fast pass operation, reference counting is suspended.
String::Length Method	Retrieves the length of the current String object.
String::ToString Method (C++/CX)	Returns a String object whose value is the same as the current string.

Properties

The String class has the following properties.

Member	Description
String::operator== Operator (C++/CX)	Indicates whether two specifed String objects have the same value.
operator+ Operator	Concatenates two String objects into a new String object.
String::operator> Operator (C++/CX)	Indicates whether the value of one String object is greater than the value of a second String object.
String::operator>= Operator (C++/CX)	Indicates whether the value of one String object is greater than or equal to the value of a second String object.
String::operator!= Operator (C++/CX)	Indicates whether two specifed String objects have different values.
String::operator< Operator (C++/CX)	Indicates whether the value of one String object is less than the value of a second String object.
