Use StringBuilder for Complex String Manipulation
When a string is modified, the run time will create a new string and return it, leaving the original to be garbage collected. Most of the time this is a fast and simple way to do it, but when a string is being modified repeatedly it begins to be a burden on performance: all of those allocations eventually get expensive. Here's a simple example of a program that appends to a string 50,000 times, followed by one that uses a StringBuilder object to modify the string in place. The StringBuilder code is much faster, and if you run them it becomes immediately obvious. namespace ConsoleApplication1.Feedback{ using System; public class Feedback{ public Feedback(){ text = "You have ordered:
"; } public string text; public static int Main(string[] args) { Feedback test = new Feedback(); String str = test.text; for(int i=0;i<50000;i++){ str = str + "blue_toothbrush"; } System.Console.Out.WriteLine("done"); return 0; } }}namespace ConsoleApplication1.Feedback{ using System; public class Feedback{ public Feedback(){ text = "You have ordered:
"; } public string text; public static int Main(string[] args) { Feedback test = new Feedback(); System.Text.StringBuilder SB = new System.Text.StringBuilder(test.text); for(int i=0;i<50000;i++){ SB.Append("blue_toothbrush"); } System.Console.Out.WriteLine("done"); return 0; } }}
