Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function Append ( _
    value As Integer _

public StringBuilder Append(
    int value
)

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	Enlarging the value of this instance would exceed its maximum capacity.

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 sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder("The range of a 32-bit integer: ")
sb.Append(Int32.MinValue).Append(" to ").Append(Int32.MaxValue)
outputBlock.Text += sb.ToString() + vbCrLf
' The example displays the following output:
'       The range of a 32-bit integer: -2147483648 to 2147483647

System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new 
       System.Text.StringBuilder("The range of a 32-bit integer: ");
sb.Append(Int32.MinValue).Append(" to ").Append(Int32.MaxValue);
outputBlock.Text += sb.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
// The example displays the following output:
//       The range of a 32-bit integer: -2147483648 to 2147483647

The Append method calls the Int32.ToString(IFormatProvider) 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.
