How to get the first five character of a String

Question

I have read this question to get first char of the string. Is there a way to get the first n number of characters from a string in C#?

Answer 1

Or you could use String.ToCharArray().
It takes int startindex and and int length as parameters and returns a char[]

new string(stringValue.ToCharArray(0,5))

You would still need to make sure the string has the proper length, otherwise it will throw a ArgumentOutOfRangeException
