StringBuilder vs String ?

[Pirate]

I'm using stringbuilder instead string (for critical performance issue) . Anyway , in this for loop ,
am I creating string objects(with the bolded font each time I call this line :

SplitedFilWriteStream = File.Create(Path.Combine(OutputPath ,FileNameOnly+segName[nSegmentCount-1].ToString() ));

The for loop looks like this :

for (nSegmentCount =1; nSegmentCount <=nSegments_CompletetBuffered;nSegmentCount++)
    {
segName.Append(nSegmentCount);    
SplitedFilWriteStream = File.Create(Path.Combine(OutputPath ,FileNameOnly+segName[nSegmentCount-1].ToString()));
SegmentTotal += 1;

bump or pumb if it helps....

Yes. Well, you're not creating the string object, but the .ToString() method would be. At least I think so Documentation doesn't actually specify that, but I guess that's the way it would have to be.

Would be interesting to decompile and see exactly what it's doing.

Thanks , it sounds great idea . I agree with you for the ToString() function part which explains how strings are unchangable objs so they create new string objs everytime they get changed . This is what I understood from MSDN help .

I must try this and I'll tell you how it goes ...
