Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

The value to append.
Return Value
Type: System.Text.StringBuilderA reference to this instance after the append operation has completed.
| Exception | Condition |

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()) + Environment.NewLine ' 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.
