The .EndsWith()
method determines whether the end of the string
instance matches the specified character or string. Additional parameters may be supplied to define the criteria for a match.
Syntax
// Determines whether the String instance's last character matches the specified character
String.EndsWith(char);
// Determines whether the end of String instance matches the specified string
String.EndsWith(string);
// Same as above but uses additional case-sensitive and culture-sensitive
String.EndsWith(string, ignoreCase, culture)
// Same as above but uses an enumeration to determine the case- and culture-sensitive criteria
String.EndsWith(string, comparisonType)
.EndsWith()
is a static method of the String
object. It takes the following arguments:
char
is an instance of theChar
structure; represents a single letter.string
is an instance of theString
object.ignoreCase
is a boolean; iftrue
then case is ignored for comparison (e.g., ‘a’ == ‘A’).culture
is an instance of theSystem.Globalization.CultureInfo
class which includes culture-specific sort order rules.comparisonType
is an element of theStringComparison
enumeration which encapsulates the case- and culture-specific criteria; available fields include:CurrentCulture
sets the current culture rules.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase
sets the current culture rules but ignores case.InvariantCulture
sets the invariant culture’s sorting rules (it’s a culture that doesn’t change based on the user’s location).InvariantCultureIgnoreCase
sets the invariant culture rules but ignores case.Ordinal
sets ordinal (binary) sort rules to compare strings.OrdinalIgnoreCase
sets ordinal (binary) sort rules to compare strings but ignores case.
Example
The following example illustrates a few of the ways the String.EndsWith()
method may be used to evaluate the end of a string
.
using System;using System.Threading;public class Example{public static void Main(){string baseString = "AbCdEfG";string compareEnd = "efg";bool result;// String.EndsWith(string)result = baseString.EndsWith(compareEnd);Console.WriteLine("Simple compare: {0}", result.ToString());// String.EndsWith(string, ignoreCase, culture)result = baseString.EndsWith(compareEnd, true, Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture);Console.WriteLine("Compare using Case/Culture: {0}", result.ToString());// String.EndsWith(string, comparisonType)result = baseString.EndsWith(compareEnd, StringComparison.InvariantCulture);Console.WriteLine("Compare using Enumeration: {0}", result.ToString());}}
This is what is printed to the console:
Simple compare: FalseCompare using Case/Culture: TrueCompare using Enumeration: False
Codebyte Example
In this example, the months
array is populated with the months of the year, and the .EndsWith()
method is used to determine the number of months that end in the letter ‘y’:
