How to find the last character in string and replace it

I have a string like this

var filterString ="WHERE ( { StrToMember( @BrandId0 ) }, { StrToMember( @RegistrationTypeId0 ) } )";

I want to replace the last ")" with blank. I did this but it looks like it replaces the entire string with blank.

filterString = filterString.Last().ToString().Replace(")", "");

There has to be a way to do it in LINQ

For most string operations, you would be better off (conciseness) if you use regular expressions rather than LINQ. Will get back to you on LINQ solution too.

Hi Camilla;

How about just trimming off the last ) from the string

filterString = filterString.TrimEnd(')');

Thanks, I'll give both a try...Fernando's and s_chilkury.

I don't want to trim ALL parens....just the last one.
