Char.GetUnicodeCategory Method (String, Int32)

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

Updated: December 2010

Categorizes the character at the specified position in a specified string into a group identified by one of the UnicodeCategory values.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function GetUnicodeCategory ( _
    s As String, _
    index As Integer _
) As UnicodeCategory
public static UnicodeCategory GetUnicodeCategory(
    string s,
    int index
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Globalization.UnicodeCategory
A UnicodeCategory enumerated constant that identifies the group that contains the character at position index in s.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

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

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

index is less than zero or greater than the last position in s.

Remarks

Character positions in a string are indexed starting from zero.

The GetUnicodeCategory method does not always return the same UnicodeCategory value as the CharUnicodeInfo.GetUnicodeCategory(String, Int32) method when passed a particular character as a parameter. The CharUnicodeInfo.GetUnicodeCategory(String, Int32) method is designed to reflect the current version of the Unicode standard. In contrast, although the GetUnicodeCategory method usually reflects the current version of the Unicode standard, it may return a character's category based on a previous version of the standard or it may return a category that differs from the current standard in order to preserve backward compatibility. As a result, we recommend that you use the CharUnicodeInfo.GetUnicodeCategory(Char) method instead of Char.GetUnicodeCategory(String, Int32).

Examples

The following example demonstrates GetUnicodeCategory.


Module Example
   Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      Dim ch2 As Char
      ch2 = "2"c
      Dim str As String
      str = "Upper Case"

      outputBlock.Text &= Char.GetUnicodeCategory("a"c) & vbCrLf   
      outputBlock.Text &= Char.GetUnicodeCategory(ch2) & vbCrLf       
      outputBlock.Text &= Char.GetUnicodeCategory(str, 6) & vbCrLf  
   End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'       LowercaseLetter
'       DecimalDigitNumber
'       UppercaseLetter
using System;

public class Example
{
   public static void Demo(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock)
   {
      char ch2 = '2';
      string str = "Upper Case";

      outputBlock.Text += Char.GetUnicodeCategory('a') + "\n";      
      outputBlock.Text += Char.GetUnicodeCategory(ch2) + "\n";      
      outputBlock.Text += Char.GetUnicodeCategory(str, 6) + "\n";   
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       LowercaseLetter
//       DecimalDigitNumber
//       UppercaseLetter
