Solution 3

Let say your search String is

C#

string searcStr = "Hello world";

now you want to search this string in a paragraph;

C#

string paragrph = @"Your first application, HelloApp, will simply display the greeting 'Hello world!'.";

C#

if (paragrph.Contains(searcStr))
           Response.Write("The search string found at" + paragrph.IndexOf(searcStr)+" character position");

Solution 2

I am not sure whether you have searched for this over internet or not. In C# you can use Contains method or IndexOf method of the String class and search for a substring..
