string.format problem

Question

I have a string "The image width is {width} and height is {height}"

I am getting this from webservice. I want to use string.format to have a string like

"The image width is 200 and height is 240"

What will be the format of the method.

Answer 1

i have not VS, so there can be small mistakes:

int width = 200; // get width from your webservices
int height = 200; // get your height from your webservice
string text = string.Format("The image width is {0} and height is {1}", width, height);

Answer 2

as webservice is returning the string as "The image width is {width} and height is {height}" I was looking for a way that will not need replacing the {width} by {0}

Answer 3

string format not going to help you. But you can can simple use Replace function?

You could use the string.Replace method like this:

string ws = "The image width is {width} and height is {height}";

ws = ws.Replace("{width}", "200").Replace("{height}", "240");

...or like this:

      string ws = "The image width is {width} and height is {height}";

      ws = ws.Replace("{width}", "{0}").Replace("{height}", "{1}");

      ws = string.Format(ws, 200, 240);

But you cannot use string.Format directly without replacing {width} and {height} with {0} and {1} respectively first.

Hope that helps.
