Replace umlauts

[SilverV]

Could anyone tell me why this doesn't work: string st = "ä"; st.Replace("ä", "ae"); Console.WriteLine(st); //output: ä What is going on?

string.Replace() is a method with a string return value. Try this st = st.Replace("a", "ae");

Thanks! I would never have figured it out alone. :sigh:

Hi, strings are immutable, this means nothing can change their value; the only thing you can do is create a new string, and that's what this method does for you. :)

this weeks tips: - make Visual display line numbers: Tools/Options/TextEditor/... - show exceptions with ToString() to see all information - before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google
