This method cuts the number of iterations in half. Rather than starting from the end, it starts from the beginning and swaps characters until it hits center. Had to convert the string to a char array because the indexer on a string has no setter.

    public string Reverse(String value)
    {
        if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(value)) throw new ArgumentNullException("value");

        char[] array = value.ToCharArray();

        for (int i = 0; i < value.Length / 2; i++)
        {
            char temp = array[i];
            array[i] = array[(array.Length - 1) - i];
            array[(array.Length - 1) - i] = temp;
        }

        return new string(array);
    }
