Remarks

.NET defines a text element as a unit of text that is displayed as a single character, that is, a grapheme. A text element can be a base character, a surrogate pair, or a combining character sequence. The Unicode Standard defines a surrogate pair as a coded character representation for a single abstract character that consists of a sequence of two code units, where the first unit of the pair is a high surrogate and the second is a low surrogate. The Unicode Standard defines a combining character sequence as a combination of a base character and one or more combining characters. A surrogate pair can represent a base character or a combining character.

The text element enumerator is used only to read data in the string; it cannot modify the underlying string. The enumerator does not have exclusive access to the string.

The enumerator is in an invalid state if it is positioned before the first text element in the string or after the last text element in the string. When the enumerator is in an invalid state, calling Current throws an exception.

Initially, the enumerator is positioned before the first text element in the string. Reset also brings the enumerator back to this position. Therefore, after an enumerator is created or after Reset is called, MoveNext must be called to advance the enumerator to the first text element of the string before reading the value of Current.

Current returns the same object until either MoveNext or Reset is called.

After the end of the string is passed, the enumerator is again in an invalid state and calling MoveNext returns false. Calling Current throws an exception if the last call to MoveNext returned false.

GetTextElementEnumerator(String, Int32)

Source:: StringInfo.cs

Source:: StringInfo.cs

Source:: StringInfo.cs

Returns an enumerator that iterates through the text elements of the string, starting at the specified index.

public:
 static System::Globalization::TextElementEnumerator ^ GetTextElementEnumerator(System::String ^ str, int index);

public static System.Globalization.TextElementEnumerator GetTextElementEnumerator(string str, int index);

static member GetTextElementEnumerator : string * int -> System.Globalization.TextElementEnumerator

Public Shared Function GetTextElementEnumerator (str As String, index As Integer) As TextElementEnumerator

Parameters

str: String

The string to iterate through.

index: Int32

The zero-based index at which to start iterating.

Returns

TextElementEnumerator

A TextElementEnumerator for the string starting at index.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

str is null.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

index is outside the range of valid indexes for str.

Remarks
