String.LastIndexOf Method (String)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Reports the zero-based index position of the last occurrence of a specified string within this instance.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function LastIndexOf ( _
    value As String _
) As Integer
public int LastIndexOf(
    string value
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
The zero-based index position of value if that string is found, or -1 if it is not. If value is String.Empty, the return value is the last index position in this instance.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

value is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

Index numbering starts from zero. That is, the first character in the string is at index zero, and the last is at Length - 1.

This method performs a word (case-sensitive and culture-sensitive) search using the current culture. The search begins at the last character position of this instance and proceeds backward, until either value is found or the first character position has been examined.

Notes to Callers

Starting in Silverlight 4, the behavior of the String.LastIndexOf(String) method has changed. In Silverlight 4, it performs a case-sensitive and culture-sensitive comparison using the current culture to find the last occurrence of value. This conforms to the behavior of the String.LastIndexOf(String) method in the full .NET Framework. In Silverlight 2 and Silverlight 3, String.LastIndexOf(String) performs an ordinal comparison. If the common language runtime determines that a Silverlight-based application was compiled against Silverlight 2 or Silverlight 3, it performs an ordinal comparison; otherwise, it performs a culture-sensitive comparison.

Examples

The following example removes opening and closing HTML tags from a string if the tags begin and end the string. If a string ends with a closing bracket character (">"), the example uses the LastIndexOf method to locate the start of the end tag.

Module Example
   Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      Dim strSource As String() = {"<b>This is bold text</b>", _
                    "<H1>This is large Text</H1>", _
                    "<b><i><font color=green>This has multiple tags</font></i></b>", _
                    "<b>This has <i>embedded</i> tags.</b>", _
                    "This line ends with a greater than symbol and should not be modified>"}

      ' Strip HTML start and end tags from each string if they are present.
      For Each s As String In strSource
         outputBlock.Text &= "Before: " + s & vbCrLf
         ' Use EndsWith to find a tag at the end of the line.
         If s.Trim().EndsWith(">") Then
            ' Locate the opening tag.
            Dim endTagStartPosition As Integer = s.LastIndexOf("</")
            ' Remove the identified section if it is valid.
            If endTagStartPosition >= 0 Then
               s = s.Substring(0, endTagStartPosition)
            End If

            ' Use StartsWith to find the opening tag.
            If s.Trim().StartsWith("<") Then
               ' Locate the end of opening tab.
               Dim openTagEndPosition As Integer = s.IndexOf(">")
               ' Remove the identified section if it is valid.
               If openTagEndPosition >= 0 Then
                  s = s.Substring(openTagEndPosition + 1)
               End If
            End If
         End If
         ' Display the trimmed string.
         outputBlock.Text &= "After: " + s & vbCrLf
         outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
      Next
   End Sub
End Module
