Determines whether the end of this string instance matches a specified string.

Overloads

EndsWith(Char)

Determines whether the end of this string instance matches the specified character.
EndsWith(String)

Determines whether the end of this string instance matches the specified string.
EndsWith(String, StringComparison)

Determines whether the end of this string instance matches the specified string when compared using the specified comparison option.
EndsWith(String, Boolean, CultureInfo)

Determines whether the end of this string instance matches the specified string when compared using the specified culture.

EndsWith(Char)

Source:

Determines whether the end of this string instance matches the specified character.

public:
 bool EndsWith(char value);

member this.EndsWith : char -> bool
Public Function EndsWith (value As Char) As Boolean

Parameters

value
Char

The character to compare to the character at the end of this instance.

Returns

Boolean

true if value matches the end of this instance; otherwise, false.

Remarks

This method performs an ordinal (case-sensitive and culture-insensitive) comparison.

Examples

The following example indicates whether each string in an array ends with a period (".").

using System;

Remarks

This method compares value to the substring at the end of this instance that is the same length as value, and returns an indication whether they are equal. To be equal, value must be a reference to this same instance or match the end of this instance.

This method performs a word (case-sensitive and culture-sensitive) comparison using the current culture.

Notes to Callers

As explained in Best Practices for Using Strings, we recommend that you avoid calling string comparison methods that substitute default values and instead call methods that require parameters to be explicitly specified. To determine whether a string ends with a particular substring by using the string comparison rules of the current culture, signal your intention explicitly by calling the EndsWith(String, StringComparison) method overload with a value of CurrentCulture for its comparisonType parameter. If you don't need linguistic-aware comparison, consider using Ordinal.

Determines whether the end of this string instance matches the specified string when compared using the specified comparison option.

Parameters

value
String

The string to compare to the substring at the end of this instance.

comparisonType
StringComparison

One of the enumeration values that determines how this string and value are compared.

Returns

Boolean

true if the value parameter matches the end of this string; otherwise, false.

Attributes

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

value is null.

ArgumentException

comparisonType is not a StringComparison value.

The following example determines whether a string ends with a particular substring. The results are affected by the choice of culture, whether case is ignored, and whether an ordinal comparison is performed.

Remarks

The EndsWith method compares the value parameter to the substring at the end of this string and returns a value that indicates whether they are equal. To be equal, value must be a reference to this same string, must be the empty string (""), or must match the end of this string. The type of comparison performed by the EndsWith method depends on the value of the comparisonType parameter.

Public Function EndsWith (value As String, ignoreCase As Boolean, culture As CultureInfo) As Boolean

Parameters

value
String

The string to compare to the substring at the end of this instance.

ignoreCase
Boolean

true to ignore case during the comparison; otherwise, false.

culture
CultureInfo

Cultural information that determines how this instance and value are compared. If culture is null, the current culture is used.

Returns

Boolean

true if the value parameter matches the end of this string; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

value is null.

Examples

The following example determines whether a string occurs at the end of another string. The EndsWith method is called several times using case sensitivity, case insensitivity, and different cultures that influence the results of the search.

Remarks

This method compares the value parameter to the substring at the end of this string that is the same length as value, and returns a value that indicates whether they are equal. To be equal, value must be a reference to this same instance or match the end of this string.

This method performs a word (culture-sensitive) comparison using the specified casing and culture.
