CompareInfo::IsSuffix Method (String^, String^)

 

Determines whether the specified source string ends with the specified suffix.

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

public:
virtual bool IsSuffix(
	String^ source,
	String^ suffix
)

Parameters

source
Type: System::String^

The string to search in.

suffix
Type: System::String^

The string to compare with the end of source.

Return Value

Type: System::Boolean

true if the length of suffix is less than or equal to the length of source and source ends with suffix; otherwise, false.

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

source is null.

-or-

suffix is null.

Every string starts and ends with an empty substring (""); therefore, if suffix is an empty string, this method returns true.

System_CAPS_noteNote

When possible, you should call string comparison methods that have a parameter of type CompareOptions to specify the kind of comparison expected. As a general rule, use linguistic options (using the current culture) for comparing strings displayed in the user interface and specify CompareOptions::Ordinal or CompareOptions::OrdinalIgnoreCase for security comparisons.

The following example determines whether a string is the prefix or suffix of another string.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Globalization;
int main()
{

   // Defines the strings to compare.
   String^ myStr1 = "calle";
   String^ myStr2 = "llegar";
   String^ myXfix = "lle";

   // Uses the CompareInfo property of the InvariantCulture.
   CompareInfo^ myComp = CultureInfo::InvariantCulture->CompareInfo;

   // Determines whether myXfix is a prefix of S"calle" and S"llegar".
   Console::WriteLine( "IsPrefix( {0}, {1}) : {2}", myStr1, myXfix, myComp->IsPrefix( myStr1, myXfix ) );
   Console::WriteLine( "IsPrefix( {0}, {1}) : {2}", myStr2, myXfix, myComp->IsPrefix( myStr2, myXfix ) );

   // Determines whether myXfix is a suffix of S"calle" and S"llegar".
   Console::WriteLine( "IsSuffix( {0}, {1}) : {2}", myStr1, myXfix, myComp->IsSuffix( myStr1, myXfix ) );
   Console::WriteLine( "IsSuffix( {0}, {1}) : {2}", myStr2, myXfix, myComp->IsSuffix( myStr2, myXfix ) );
}

/*
This code produces the following output.

IsPrefix(calle, lle) : False
IsPrefix(llegar, lle) : True
IsSuffix(calle, lle) : True
IsSuffix(llegar, lle) : False
