static string Caesar(string value, int shift)

    char[] buffer = value.ToCharArray();
    for (int i = 0; i < buffer.Length; i++)
    {
        // Letter.
        char letter = buffer[i];
        // Add shift to all.
        letter = (char)(letter + shift);
        // Subtract 26 on overflow.
        // Add 26 on underflow.
    if (letter > 'z')
    {
    letter = (char)(letter - 26);
    }
    else if (letter < 'a')
    {
    letter = (char)(letter + 26);
    }
    // Store.
    buffer[i] = letter;
}
return new string(buffer);
}

}

}

The error is where i marked it, and my out put is coming out like My Name¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ so i just want to separate it

If you expect the variable to have the new value, you need to make sure you assign the result back to it:

mystring = mystring.Trim( '¥' );
