What is equivalent to VB.NET's Length keyword in C#?

Question

I wrote VB.NET code like this:

d = Data.IndexOf("</a>", ("target='_top' class='ab1'>").Length() + s).

I want to write this in C#. When I wrote the above code in C#, it said there was an error with the Length keyword. How do I write the above code in C#?

Answer 1

You have an extra set of parentheses:

 d = Data.IndexOf("</a>", "target='_top' class='ab1'>".Length + s)

Try that

Answer 2

Length is not a keyword in C# - it is either a property or an extension method on the object (like a string) that you are trying to manipulate.

So if it is a string you are using this will work:

myString.Length

(notice how the brackets are missing because it is a property).
