public static string Reverse2(string x)
        {
            char[] charArray = new char[x.Length];
            int len = x.Length - 1;
            for (int i = 0; i <= len; i++)
                charArray[i] = x[len - i];
            return new string(charArray);
        }

如何:

    private string Reverse(string stringToReverse)
    {
        char[] rev = stringToReverse.Reverse().ToArray();
        return new string(rev); 
    }

这是一个非常棘手的问题。

我推荐使用Array。大多数情况下是反向的，因为它是原生编码的，维护和理解非常简单。

在我测试的所有情况下，它似乎都优于StringBuilder。

public string Reverse(string text)
{
   if (text == null) return null;

   // this was posted by petebob as well 
   char[] array = text.ToCharArray();
   Array.Reverse(array);
   return new String(array);
}

对于特定长度的字符串，使用Xor的第二种方法更快。

    public static string ReverseXor(string s)
    {
        if (s == null) return null;
        char[] charArray = s.ToCharArray();
        int len = s.Length - 1;

        for (int i = 0; i < len; i++, len--)
        {
            charArray[i] ^= charArray[len];
            charArray[len] ^= charArray[i];
            charArray[i] ^= charArray[len];
        }

        return new string(charArray);
    }

注意:如果你想支持完整的Unicode UTF16字符集，请阅读此。而是使用那里的实现。它可以通过使用上述算法之一进一步优化，并在反转字符后遍历字符串以清理它。

下面是StringBuilder和Array之间的性能比较。逆向和异或法。

下面是该函数的unicode安全版本，编写为将安全处理unicode的扩展。它接近标记的完整答案，但不会抛出“无效的高代理字符”异常。

            {
                charArray[j] = s[i];
                j++;
                charArray[j] = s[i+1];
            }
