CompareInfo.IndexOf Method (String, Char, Int32, CompareOptions)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Searches for the specified character and returns the zero-based index of the first occurrence within the section of the source string that extends from the specified index to the end of the string using the specified CompareOptions value.

Namespace:  System.Globalization
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overridable Function IndexOf ( _
    source As String, _
    value As Char, _
    startIndex As Integer, _
    options As CompareOptions _
) As Integer
public virtual int IndexOf(
    string source,
    char value,
    int startIndex,
    CompareOptions options
)

Parameters

  • value
    Type: System.Char
    The character to locate within source.
  • startIndex
    Type: System.Int32
    The zero-based starting index of the search.

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
The zero-based index of the first occurrence of value within the section of source that extends from startIndex to the end of source using the specified CompareOptions value, if found; otherwise, -1.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

source is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

startIndex is outside the range of valid indexes for source.

ArgumentException

options contains an invalid CompareOptions value.

Remarks

The source string is searched forward starting at startIndex and ending at the end of the string.

The CompareOptions.StringSort value is not valid for this method.

If options does not include the Ordinal value, this overload performs a culture-sensitive search. If the character is a Unicode value representing a precomposed character, such as the ligature "Æ" (U+00C6), it might be considered equivalent to any occurrence of its components in the correct sequence, such as "AE" (U+0041, U+0045), depending on the culture. If options includes the Ordinal value, this overload performs an ordinal (culture-insensitive) search. A character is considered equivalent to another character only if the Unicode values are the same.

Examples

The following example determines the indexes of the first and last occurrences of a character or a substring within a portion of a string. Note that IndexOf and LastIndexOf are searching in different portions of the string, even with the same startIndex parameter.
