This C# code snippet gets the length of a string.

string motto = 
   "Drive thy business or it will drive thee.";	
Console.WriteLine ("motto is " 
   + motto.Length

If the string is uninitialized or null, a NullReferenceException will be generated.

If the string is Empty or equals "", the Length will be zero.
