Members of the String Class

Members of the String Class


Let's look at the members of the String class before we start using them in our example applications. Table
15−1 lists the important methods, minus most of the methods inherited from Object.

Clone

This member is inherited as it is in all the .NET types, but it is especially useful in the String class. It lets you
declare a new object and then clone another object to it bit for bit. You then end up with two identical copies
of the String. You can then work with the new object in place of the cloned one. The following code
demonstrates the cloning of a String object:

Dim sText, sTextDisplay As String


Dim sClone As Object
sText = "hello world"
sClone = sText.Clone()
sTextDisplay = sClone.ToString()
Console.WriteLine("Result: {0}", sTextDisplay)
