在VB.Net中,可以使用字符串作为字符数组,但是更常见的做法是使用String关键字声明一个字符串变量。 string关键字是System.String类的别名。
您可以使用以下方法之一创建字符串对象:
By assigning a string literal to a String variable 通过指定一个字符串给一个字符串变量
By using a String class constructor 通过使用String类构造函数
By using the string concatenation operator (+) 通过使用字符串连接运算符(+)
By retrieving a property or calling a method that returns a string 通过检索属性或调用返回字符串的方法
By calling a formatting method to convert a value or object to its string representation
通过调用格式化方法将值或对象转换为其字符串表示形式
下面的例子说明了这一点:
Module strings Sub Main() Dim fname, lname, fullname, greetings As String fname = "Rowan" lname = "Atkinson" fullname = fname + " " + lname Console.WriteLine("Full Name: {0}", fullname) 'by using string constructor Dim letters As Char() = {"H", "e", "l", "l", "o"} greetings = New String(letters) Console.WriteLine("Greetings: {0}", greetings) 'methods returning String Dim sarray() As String = {"Hello", "From", "Tutorials", "Point"} Dim message As String = String.Join(" ", sarray) Console.WriteLine("Message: {0}", message) 'formatting method to convert a value Dim waiting As DateTime = New DateTime(2012, 12, 12, 17, 58, 1) Dim chat As String = String.Format("Message sent at {0:t} on {0:D}", waiting) Console.WriteLine("Message: {0}", chat) Console.ReadLine() End Sub End Module
当上述代码被编译和执行时,它产生了以下结果:
Full Name: Rowan Atkinson Greetings: Hello Message: Hello From Tutorials Point Message: Message sent at 5:58 PM on Wednesday, December 12, 2012
String类有以下两个属性:
SN | 属性名称和说明 |

14 | Public Function IndexOf ( value As String ) As Integer 返回此实例中指定字符串第一次出现的从零开始的索引。 |
15 | Public Function IndexOf ( value As Char, startIndex As Integer ) As Integer 返回此字符串中指定Unicode字符第一次出现的从零开始的索引,从指定的字符位置开始搜索。 |
16 | Public Function IndexOf ( value As String, startIndex As Integer ) As Integer 返回此实例中指定字符串第一次出现的从零开始的索引,开始在指定的字符位置搜索。 |
17 | Public Function IndexOfAny ( anyOf As Char() ) As Integer 返回在指定的Unicode字符数组中的任何字符的此实例中第一次出现的从零开始的索引。 |
18 | Public Function IndexOfAny ( anyOf As Char(), startIndex As Integer ) As Integer 返回在指定的Unicode字符数组中的任意字符的此实例中第一次出现的从零开始的索引,开始在指定的字符位置搜索。 |
19 | Public Function Insert ( startIndex As Integer, value As String ) As String 返回一个新字符串,其中指定的字符串插入到当前字符串对象中指定的索引位置。 |

下面的例子说明了上述一些方法:
比较字符串:
Module strings Sub Main() Dim str1, str2 As String str1 = "This is test" str2 = "This is text" If (String.Compare(str1, str2) = 0) Then Console.WriteLine(str1 + " and " + str2 + " are equal.") Else Console.WriteLine(str1 + " and " + str2 + " are not equal.") End If Console.ReadLine() End Sub End Module
当上述代码被编译和执行时,它产生了以下结果:
This is test and This is text are not equal.
字符串包含字符串:
Module strings Sub Main() Dim str1 As String str1 = "This is test" If (str1.Contains("test")) Then Console.WriteLine("The sequence 'test' was found.") End If Console.ReadLine() End Sub End Module
当上述代码被编译和执行时,它产生了以下结果:
The sequence 'test' was found.
获取的子字符串:
Module strings Sub Main() Dim str As String str = "Last night I dreamt of San Pedro" Console.WriteLine(str) Dim substr As String = str.Substring(23) Console.WriteLine(substr) Console.ReadLine() End Sub End Module
当上述代码被编译和执行时,它产生了以下结果:
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro San Pedro.
