VB.NET Core Classes in a Nutshell

Name

CharEnumerator

Synopsis

This class allows you to access and iterate through individual chars in an array. You can manually retrieve a CharEnumerator from a String object using the String.GetEnumerator() method and then using the MoveNext() method to step through the string. However, VB.NET provides built-in support with the convenient For Each construct, which uses a CharEnumerator transparently.

By convention, a CharEnumerator starts just before the first character. When using a CharEnumerator manually, you need to call the MoveNext() method before you can access the first character.
