Parameters

startIndex

A int containing the index at which to begin removal. [Edit]

length

A int containing the number of characters to be removed. [Edit]

Returns

The current instance after removal has occurred. [Edit]

Exceptions

Type	Reason
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	startIndex or length is less than zero -or- The sum of startIndex and length is greater than the length of the current instance. [Edit]

Remarks

This method removes the specified range of characters from the current instance. The characters at (startIndex + length) are moved to startIndex, and the string value of the current instance is shortened by length.

Note: The StringBuilder.Replace(string, string) method can be used to remove all instances of a string from a System.Text.StringBuilder.
