StringBuilder.Insert Method (Int32, Char)
Inserts the string representation of a specified Unicode character into this instance at the specified character position.
Namespace: System.Text
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- index
- Type: System.Int32
The position in this instance where insertion begins.
- value
- Type: System.Char
The value to insert.
Return Value
Type: System.Text.StringBuilderA reference to this instance after the insert operation has completed.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | index is less than zero or greater than the length of this instance. -or- Enlarging the value of this instance would exceed MaxCapacity. |
Char.ToString is used to get a string representation of value. Existing characters are shifted to make room for the new text. The capacity of this instance is adjusted as needed.
The following example demonstrates the Insert method.
using System; using System.Text; class Sample { // index: 012345 static string initialValue = "--[]--"; static StringBuilder sb; public static void Main() { string xyz = "xyz"; char[] abc = {'a', 'b', 'c'}; char star = '*'; Object obj = 0; bool xBool = true; byte xByte = 1; short xInt16 = 2; int xInt32 = 3; long xInt64 = 4; Decimal xDecimal = 5; float xSingle = 6.6F; double xDouble = 7.7; // The following types are not CLS-compliant. ushort xUInt16 = 8; uint xUInt32 = 9; ulong xUInt64 = 10; sbyte xSByte = -11; // Console.WriteLine("StringBuilder.Insert method"); sb = new StringBuilder(initialValue); sb.Insert(3, xyz, 2); Show(1, sb); sb.Insert(3, xyz); Show(2, sb); sb.Insert(3, star); Show(3, sb); sb.Insert(3, abc); Show(4, sb); sb.Insert(3, abc, 1, 2); Show(5, sb); sb.Insert(3, xBool); // True Show(6, sb); sb.Insert(3, obj); // 0 Show(7, sb); sb.Insert(3, xByte); // 1 Show(8, sb); sb.Insert(3, xInt16); // 2 Show(9, sb); sb.Insert(3, xInt32); // 3 Show(10, sb); sb.Insert(3, xInt64); // 4 Show(11, sb); sb.Insert(3, xDecimal); // 5 Show(12, sb); sb.Insert(3, xSingle); // 6.6 Show(13, sb); sb.Insert(3, xDouble); // 7.7 Show(14, sb); // The following Insert methods are not CLS-compliant. sb.Insert(3, xUInt16); // 8 Show(15, sb); sb.Insert(3, xUInt32); // 9 Show(16, sb); sb.Insert(3, xUInt64); // 10 Show(17, sb); sb.Insert(3, xSByte); // -11 Show(18, sb); // } public static void Show(int overloadNumber, StringBuilder sbs) { Console.WriteLine("{0,2:G} = {1}", overloadNumber, sbs.ToString()); sb = new StringBuilder(initialValue); } } /* This example produces the following results: StringBuilder.Insert method 1 = --[xyzxyz]-- 2 = --[xyz]-- 3 = --[*]-- 4 = --[abc]-- 5 = --[bc]-- 6 = --[True]-- 7 = --[0]-- 8 = --[1]-- 9 = --[2]-- 10 = --[3]-- 11 = --[4]-- 12 = --[5]-- 13 = --[6.6]-- 14 = --[7.7]-- 15 = --[8]-- 16 = --[9]-- 17 = --[10]-- 18 = --[-11]-- */
