Namespace: System.Text
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Function Append ( _
value As Byte _
) As StringBuilder
public StringBuilder Append(
byte value
)

The value to append.
Return Value

Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | Enlarging the value of this instance would exceed its maximum capacity. |
Remarks
The Append method modifies the existing instance of this class; it does not return a new class instance. Because of this, you can call a method or property on the existing reference and you do not have to assign the return value to a StringBuilder object, as the following example illustrates.
Dim bytes() As Byte = { 16, 132, 27, 253 }
Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder()
For Each value In bytes
sb.Append(value).Append(" ")
Next
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The byte array: {0}",
sb.ToString()) + vbCrLf
' The example displays the following output:
' The byte array: 16 132 27 253
Byte[] bytes = { 16, 132, 27, 253 };
System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
foreach (var value in bytes)
sb.Append(value).Append(" ");
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The byte array: {0}\n", sb.ToString());
// The example displays the following output:
// The byte array: 16 132 27 253
The Append method calls the ToString method to get the string representation of value for the current culture. To control the formatting of value, call the AppendFormat method.
The capacity of this instance is adjusted as needed.
