Hello all,
I am having a little problems getting String's StartsWith and
EndsWith methods. If I have a string defined as
sNormalPt which equals "0x11D0" then use the following command
sNormalPt.Start sWith( "0x" )
the application throws and exception stating
error: 'sNormalPt.Star tsWith' does not exist
I get the same behavior using the EndsWith method also. The following
is the output from the command window as I typed commands
sNormalPt
"0x11D0"
sNormalPt.Lengt h
6
sNormalPt.Start sWith( "0x" )
error: 'sNormalPt.Star tsWith' does not exist
sNormalPt.EndsW ith( "D0" )
error: 'sNormalPt.Ends With' does not exist
I don't understand why this is failing, does any one have some clues?
I do have Visual C# Express Beta 2 installed, so perhaps that has
something to do with it????

Hello again,
I found out that that most of the string methods are not working.
Here are a few that I tried and they failed providing me with the same
error message.
ToUpper()
ToLower()
SubString()
I also added a config file in case the .NET 2.0 was causing problems
which looks like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuratio n>
<startup>
<requiredRuntim e version="V1.1.4 322" />
</startup>
</configuration>
With this even in the debug folder it doesn't help....

I duplicated your problem using VS2003 and I do not have .Net 2.0
installed on this machine, so I don't think that has anything to do
with it.
The methods (EndsWith, StartsWith) all work correctly in code, just not
in the command window when using C#. It also does *not* work for me in
the watch windows
It *does* work correctly when using VB.Net in both cases. I'm not sure
why C# doesn't allow that type of evaluation in the command window or
watch windows. That would seem to be a severe limitation to debugging.
Chris,
Since I debugging the application I hadn't tried running the
application normally, but after reading your post I let it run normally
and the string methods do function correctly. As you already stated
this does limit debugging fairly severely. Was this topic talked about
before? I didn't see anything and should this item be submitted to
Microsoft? If so, how would one submit this?
Mark
I have not seen it before. I work primarily with VB.Net and it works
correctly in the IDE for VB. I find it strange that it doesn't for C#.
I can only assume that it has to do with string actually being char[].
It may be possible that in C# debug mode it makes that distinction,
while in VB debug mode, it does not. So while intellisense shows the
methods as being available, they actually are not.
In the test code I wrote:
string testString = "blah blah blah blah";
using the command window after hitting the break:
(testString[0] == 'b')
true
A lot of the functions that retrieve data or operate based on a strings
underlying char[] type do not operate propperly in the debug mode
command window.

No, string and char[] are fairly different. While string does contain a
sequence of chars, it isn't really an array.

There *is* no underlying char[] type. The above uses the *indexer* of a
string, which doesn't mean it's actually an array.

Forgive my excitement, especially if you are already aware of this, but
this seems like the kind of feature that is easily overlooked (yet could
be very useful):
Both 8-bit and Unicode strings have new partition(sep) and
rpartition(sep) methods that simplify a common use case.
The find(S) method is often used to get an index which is then used to
slice the string and obtain the pieces that are before and after the
separator....

Hello,
what is the use-case of parameter "start" in string's "endswith"
method? Consider the following minimal example:
a = "testing"
suffix="ing"
a.endswith(suffix, 2)
Significance of "end" is obvious. But not so for "start".

I need to check the current value of a string value to see if it
either starts with or ends with a double quote character, as in
"123" (where the quotes are actual contens of the string). I thought a

quote characters. But when I code something like:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
