In my Print.Xaml.cs

I have TextBox and need to pass the same to managed code(C++/CLI) from C#(.Net)

C#

private UInt32 _ValueCntTextBox = 0;
//.....

private void UpdatePrintInfo()
{

line 1: int value = PrintInfoTextBlk.Text.IndexOf(':');
line 2: string mystring = PrintInfoTextBlk.Text.Substring(value +1,PrintInfoTextBlk.Text.IndexOf(')' )-value -1);
line 3: ValueCntTextBox.Text = value;
line 4: UInt32.Parse(value,out _ValueCntTextBox);

...

}

The above Exception is obtained @ line 2:
Any Help in resolving the above is much appreciable.

I am using Windows 7 O/S, VS2008 IDE

What is the value of the parameters in the PrintInfoTextBlk.Text.Substring() call? For example what does value contain, and what does PrintInfoTextBlk.Text.IndexOf(')' ) return?

From the code above, I suppose you are trying to extract the text portion between ':' and ')'.

I would code like:

C#

// save text to avoid accessing underlying control multiple times
string sText = PrintInfoTextBlk.Text;
// save position of ':' if present; -1 otherwise!
int nStartIndex = sText.IndexOf(':');
// save position of ')' if present; -1 otherwise!
int nEndIndex = sText.IndexOf(')');

string mystring = null; // null will later tell that no valid chars have been found
					
// Both chars were found, so extract substring
if ((nStartIndex >= 0) && (nEndIndex > nStartIndex))
    mystring = sText.Substring(nStartIndex + 1, nEndIndex - nStartIndex - 1);
// Only ':' was found, so extract everything until end of text
else if ((nStartIndex >= 0) && (nEndIndex < 0))
    mystring = sText.Substring(nStartIndex + 1);

ValueCntTextBox.Text = nStartIndex;
UInt32.Parse(nStartIndex, out _ValueCntTextBox);
