        {
            string dataToTest="Hello World<>@@@$$$##555!!!";
            Console.WriteLine("Total Characters: {0}",dataToTest.Where(ch => Char.IsLetter(ch)).Count());

Hi,

You can use Length property of string to count characters:

C#

label1.text="character count: " + data.Length.ToString();

What OP is asking about? About characters. Not letters or something which would need classification. Formally, a correct answer, my 5.

GenerateCharacterCount is not .Net method. I guess you have copied it from here:
Parsing Sentences and Building Text Statics in C#[^]
Correct?
If you want to use it, just copy the function into your code:

C#

public int GenerateCharacterCount(string allText)
        {
            int rtn = 0;

            // clean up the string by
            // removing newlines and by trimming
            // both ends
            string sTemp = allText;
            sTemp = sTemp.Replace(Environment.NewLine, string.Empty);
            sTemp = sTemp.Trim();

            // split the string into sentences
            // using a regular expression
            string[] splitSentences =
                Regex.Split(sTemp,
                    @"(?<=['""A-Za-z0-9][\.\!\?])\s+(?=[A-Z])");

            // loop through the sentences to get character counts
            for(int cnt=0; cnt<splitSentences.Length; cnt++)
            {
                // get the current sentence
                string sSentence = splitSentences[cnt].ToString();

                // trim it
                sSentence = sSentence.Trim();

                // convert it to a character array
                char[] sentence = sSentence.ToCharArray();

                // test each character and
                // add it to the return value
                // if it passes
                for (int i = 0; i < sentence.Length; i++)
                {
                    // make sure it is a letter, number,
                    // punctuation or whitespace before
                    // adding it to the tally
                    if (char.IsLetterOrDigit(sentence[i]) ||
                        char.IsPunctuation(sentence[i]) ||
                        char.IsWhiteSpace(sentence[i]))
                        rtn += 1;
                }
            }

            // return the final tally
            return rtn;
        }
