Remarks
This method appends all the characters in the specified array to the current instance in the same order as they appear in value. If value is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), no changes are made.
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 chars() As Char = { "a"c, "e"c, "i"c, "o"c, "u"c }
Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder()
sb.Append("The characters in the array: ").Append(chars)
outputBlock.Text += sb.ToString() + vbCrLf
' The example displays the following output:
' The characters in the array: aeiou
char[] chars = { 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u' };
System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
sb.Append("The characters in the array: ").Append(chars);
outputBlock.Text += sb + Environment.NewLine;
// The example displays the following output:
// The characters in the array: aeiou
The capacity of this instance is adjusted as needed.
