The FCL provides rich
support for text.
Important types include the System.String class
for handling immutable strings, a StringBuilder
class that provides string-handling operations with support for
locale-aware comparison operations and multiple string encoding
formats (ASCII, Unicode, UTF-7, and UTF-8), as well as a set of
classes that provide regular expression support (see Chapter 6).
For more information, see the following namespaces:
System.Text
System.Text.RegularExpressions
