Hello...consider the following:

 Help with Code Tags 
 C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
string testString = "Sometime";
int startPos = testString.Length - 4;
//call the string.Remove(int startPosition) method that deletes characters 
//starting from that specified position.
//new string should show "Some"
testString = testString.Remove(startPos);
string testString = "Sometime";
int startPos = testString.Length - 4;
//call the string.Remove(int startPosition) method that deletes characters 
//starting from that specified position.
//new string should show "Some"
testString = testString.Remove(startPos);

Hope this helps...
