Remarks

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 flag As Boolean = false
Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder
sb.Append("The value of the flag is ").Append(flag).Append(".")
outputBlock.Text += sb.ToString() + vbCrLf
' The example displays the following output:
'       The value of the flag is False.

 bool flag = false;
 System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
 sb.Append("The value of the flag is ").Append(flag).Append(".");
outputBlock.Text += sb.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
 // The example displays the following output:
 //       The value of the flag is False.

If value is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), no changes are made.

The capacity of this instance is adjusted as needed.
