Hi, everybody.

Some months ago, I´ve made some testings to look at the performance of VFP 7 and VB 6 on the string concatenation... by that time, with some research, I discovered about the "dynamic memory allocation" problem of VB 6.

Now, I just teste such thing, but with VFP, C# and VB.NET. As I was reading, VS.NET provides the StringBuilder class, in order to speedup this sort of thing. Well, I´ve run this code in C#:

StringBuilder SB = new StringBuilder();

int i=1;

while (i != 30000)
{
SB.Append("Hi"+i.ToString());
SB.Append(" blah blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah blah ");
i++;
}

and in VB:

Dim SB = New System.Text.StringBuilder()

Dim i

For i = 1 To 30000

  SB.Append("Hi" + i.ToString())
  SB.Append(" blah blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah blah ")
Next

As I´m not a VBer, and I´m just starting study C#, I don´t know if that´s the correct way of doing things... anyway, for what people are saying, such code must have similar performance... but, that wasn´t what I saw.

Any comments?
