30+ String Manipulation Techniques in C#

Strings are a fairly basic part of C#. In fact, you usually learn how to work with strings the first time you create an application in C#. However, there are a lot of ways to work with strings, and often quite a few of those methods are overlooked. So in this video, we are going to look at over 30 ways we can tweak, change, manipulate, and use strings in our applications. I am going to guess that even seasoned veterans are going to find a few things in here that they didn’t know. Keep track of how many you didn’t know about or that you forgot about and let me know at the end.
