How would i go about deleting (not just replacing with a ' ') The nth char of a string. Say i want to have Hello World output Hllo World any thing that could do this?

    Two substrings (one of all characters before the one you wish to delete, the other of characters after) and then you concatenate them. – TheZ Nov 28 '12 at 21:46

  • check out my answer its better and cooler and youll look cooler using linq than with using the built in String.Remove function ;) – jordan Nov 28 '12 at 22:16
  • @jordan.peoples: Your approach is clumsier and slower than the builtin `String.Remove`. Ryan, that is not a duplicate. How could a question "not replacing in string" be a duplicate of "replacing char in string"? – Tim Schmelter Nov 28 '12 at 22:52
  • there's no way its slower. may take more space and more screen real estate, but looks cooler and is more flexible for a wider range of applications @TimSchmelter Also, try to keep it professional. saying "Are you kidding?" gets a flagged comment. – jordan Nov 28 '12 at 22:55
  • @jordan.peoples: Removed the "kidding" but again, looks cooler is no value and multiple lines that create many intermediate strings instead of one efficient method is not _cooler_ but just redundant. – Tim Schmelter Nov 28 '12 at 22:58
  • @TimSchmelter Possibilities my dear tim, possibilities. – jordan Nov 28 '12 at 23:06
  • @jordan.peoples: You can downvote all of my answers and questions if you want, that won't make your answer more useful at all. – Tim Schmelter Nov 28 '12 at 23:11
  • @TimSchmelter who down voted what now? i got a down vote for my awesome answer. – jordan Nov 28 '12 at 23:24

    @TimSchmelter, Don't worry, he went on a downvote campaign against me recently after he complained about downvotes on a horrible answer. A few days later they were all reversed. It's not worth arguing with him. He won't see sense and he gets childishly defensive. – TheEvilPenguin Nov 29 '12 at 01:05

With .Remove

var removed = s.Remove(1, 1);

note, you can't change a string, you can only create a new string with the character removed.

String class has a remove method

var s = "abc".Remove(1,1); //will return ac
