c# - How to check whether a string contains a specific character

Check whether a String contains a specific character
The String represents text as a sequence of UTF-16 code units. The String is a sequential collection of characters that is used to represent text. The String is a sequential collection of System.Char objects.

The following .net c# tutorial code demonstrates how we can check whether a String instance contains a specific character. In this .net c# tutorial code we will determine whether a String instance contains a specific character or not. Here we will check the specific character’s existence within a String instance by using the String Contains() method.

The String Contains(Char) method overload returns a value indicating whether a specified character occurs within this string. The String Contains(char value) method has a required parameter named value. The value parameter is the character to seek.

The String Contains() method returns a Boolean value. This method returns true if the value parameter occurs within this string otherwise it returns false. So using this String Contains(Char) method overload the .net c# developers can determine whether a String instance contains a specific character or not.
