I want to employ the Substring method from this site:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa903372%28v=vs.71%29.aspx[^]

This was a little vague.

I have a string: n="123456789"

I want to delete the last two digits to get:

n="1234567"

How do I do that?

Okaaaayyyy... You should probably read the documentation for SubString then not sure what is so vague about it.

n = n.SubString(0, n.Length - 2) should do what you want.
