Hi,
>I don't think the line continuation character is needed if you place the ampersand (or plus sign) at the end of the 'line'. e.g.
Dim s As String = "abc " &
>"ppp " &
>"qqq"
Didn't know that - neither did I know the
<string>
zzz
</string>.Value
But me and VB, eh
>Just one of those VB things :-{ . But you and Craig are right in saying StringBuilder isn't a good option in this situation...
Nowhere in this thread did I mention StringBuilder - I did in the past
It's all about optimization. Using a StringBuilder also creates an object that has to be garbage collected
