| Member | Description | 
|---|---|
| Length | A property that returns the length of the string. | 
| Compare() | A static method that compares two strings. | 
| Contains() | Determines if the string contains a specific substring. | 
| Equals() | Determines if the two strings have the same character data. | 
| Format() | Formats a string via the {0} notation and by using other primitives. | 
| Trim() | Removes all instances of specific characters from trailing and leading characters. Defaults to removing leading and trailing spaces. | 
| Split() | Removes the provided character and creates an array out of the remaining characters on either side. | 
string longString = @"I can type any characters in here !#@$%^&*()__+ '' \n \t except double quotes and I will be taken literally. I even work with multiple lines.";
// Using property of System.String
string lengthOfString = "How long?";
lengthOfString.Length           // => 9
// Using methods of System.String
lengthOfString.Contains("How"); // => true
| Term | Definition | 
|---|---|
| Runtime | A collection of services that are required to execute a given compiled unit of code. | 
| Common Language Runtime (CLR) | Primarily locates, loads, and managed .NET objects. The CLR also handles memory management, application hosting, coordination of threads, performing security checks, and other low-level details. | 
| Managed code | Code that compiles and runs on .NET runtime. C#/F#/VB are examples. | 
| Unmanaged code | Code that compiles straight to machine code and cannot be directly hosted by the .NET runtime. Contains no free memory management, garbage collection, etc. DLLs created from C/C++ are examples. |
