C# in a Nutshell

StringBuilder

Synopsis

This String helper class enables in-place modification of a string without having to create new string instances. Since strings are immutable, their values cannot change once set. (Attempts to assign a new value to an existing string succeed, but at the expense of destroying and re-creating the original string.) The StringBuilder constructor allows you to set the size of the StringBuilder and specify the initial string it contains. The Insert() methods put new data (of varying types) into the StringBuilder at a specified position. Append() adds data to the end of a StringBuilder. The ToString() method converts the StringBuilder into a real string.
