I have not actually tried this in .net, but in vb6 you would use the InStr command where you specify the string to search and the string to find. It returns the position as a long (variant).

Can't guarantee its available in .net as well. I have vb6 here (work) and .net at home, so can't test it

you can use IndexOf to find the first occurence of a string or charcter in another string. (lots of overloaded versions available)

Not sure what you mean by count it up? if you mean the position of the word within the string then use IndexOf, or if you mean count up every occurence then I'd use a regular expression.
