Gets the number of characters in this instance.
[Visual Basic] Public ReadOnly Property Length As Integer [C#] public int Length {get;} [C++] public: __property int get_Length(); [JScript] public function get Length() : int;
The number of characters in this instance.
The Length property returns the number of Char objects in this instance, not the number of Unicode characters. The reason is that a Unicode character might be represented by more than one Char. Use the System.Globalization.StringInfo class to work with each Unicode character instead of each Char.
