How to find string in C#

Hello:

In VB I was using InStr function to determice whether some string exists
within another string. How would I do it in C#?

For instance, I have a long string created by StringBuilder. I need to find
out if this string contains the words "Not found". Is there a C# function
for it? or perhaps I could use wildcards? Or can I use StringBuilder for
this?

I would appreciate your help.

Thank you,

Check the IndexOf method.

Use String.IndexOf, and compare the result with -1.

Hello I was wondering which behaviour might be expected (or is required) for the following small program. I would expect that find( "a", string::npos ) would return string::npos but is seems to be dependant on which string is searched for. On my system, using gcc 4.1.2, I get: pos1=2 problem because pos1=0
