Declaration
public int Capacity { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Int32

The current capacity in bytes of the string.
Implements
Remarks

The null-terminator byte is not included in the capacity, so the string's character buffer is Capacity + 1 in size.

Thrown if ENABLE_UNITY_COLLECTIONS_CHECKS is defined and a write is attempted.

IsEmpty

Whether this string has no characters.

Declaration
public bool IsEmpty { get; set; }

Length

The current length in bytes of this string.

Declaration
public int Length { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
