String.LastIndexOf Method (Char, Int32, Int32)

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

Updated: October 2010

Reports the zero-based index position of the last occurrence of the specified Unicode character in a substring within this instance. The search starts at a specified character position and examines a specified number of character positions.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
<SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute> _
Public Function LastIndexOf ( _
    value As Char, _
    startIndex As Integer, _
    count As Integer _
) As Integer
[SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute]
public int LastIndexOf(
    char value,
    int startIndex,
    int count
)

Parameters

  • startIndex
    Type: System.Int32
    The starting position of a substring within this instance.
  • count
    Type: System.Int32
    The number of character positions to examine.

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
The zero-based index position of value if that character is found, or -1 if it is not found or if the current instance equals String.Empty.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

The current instance does not equal String.Empty, and startIndex is less than zero or greater than or equal to the length of this instance.

-or-

The current instance does not equal String.Empty, and startIndex - count + 1 is less than zero.

Remarks

Index numbering starts from zero. That is, the first character in the string is at index 0 and the last is at Length - 1.

This method begins searching at the startIndex character position of this instance and proceeds backward toward the beginning until either value is found or count character positions have been examined. For example, if startIndex is Length - 1, the method searches backward count characters from the last character in the string. The search is case-sensitive.

This method performs an ordinal (culture-insensitive) search, where a character is considered equivalent to another character only if their Unicode scalar value are the same. To perform a culture-sensitive search, use the CompareInfo.LastIndexOf method, where a Unicode scalar value representing a precomposed character, such as the ligature 'Æ' (U+00C6), might be considered equivalent to any occurrence of the character's components in the correct sequence, such as "AE" (U+0041, U+0045), depending on the culture.

Examples

The following code example finds the index of all occurrences of a character in a substring, working from the end of the substring to the start of the substring.
