The FCL provides rich support for text. Important types include
the System.String class for handling immutable
strings, a StringBuilder class that provides
string-handling operations with support for locale-aware comparison
operations and multiple string encoding formats (ASCII, Unicode,
UTF-7, and UTF-8), as well as a set of classes that provide regular
expression support (see Chapter 6).
For more information, see the following namespaces:
System.Text System.Text.RegularExpressions
An important related type in another namespace is System.String.
