Is that what the question is asking? I understood is as "is there a method which repeats a word". — EyasSH, May 02 '15 at 17:16
do a simple google search @Mohammad come on now there are so many examples of this on the internet for example http://www.dotnetperls.com/string-occurrence — MethodMan, May 02 '15 at 17:31
Obviously __not a duplicate__ OP is not asking about characters or strings but about word.. — TaW, May 02 '15 at 17:35

A simple regex will do it:

string str = "abcabcabcabcabc"; // 5 times
int cnt = Regex.Matches(str ,"abc").Count; // 5
