What is the fastest way to find out if a string ends with another string?

Question

What is the best rewrite of this method to speed it up?

public static bool EndsWith(string line, string term)
{

    bool rb = false;

    int lengthOfTerm = term.Length;

    string endOfString = StringHelpers.RightString(line, lengthOfTerm);

    if (StringHelpers.AreEqual(term, endOfString))
    {
        return true;
    }
    else
    {
        rb = false;
    }

    if (line == term)
    {
        rb = true;
    }

    return rb;

}

Answer 1

You may want to drop the method rather than rewrite it...

public static bool EndsWith(string line, string term)
{
  return line.EndsWith(term);
}

Answer 2

Maybe I am missing the point completely, but I would spontaneously go for the String.EndsWith method.

Answer 3

Could you use the .NET builtin in string.Endwith() method?

Answer 4

Can't you just use the standard string.EndsWith() function??

Answer 5

Is there any reason you aren't using the build in String.EndsWith method? I imagine that will be the fastest solution most of the time.

Answer 6

line.EndsWidth(term)
