StringBuilder.Append Method (Boolean)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Updated: January 2011

Appends the string representation of a specified Boolean value to the end of this instance.

Namespace:  System.Text
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function Append ( _
    value As Boolean _
) As StringBuilder

public StringBuilder Append(
    bool value
)

Parameters

• value
  Type: System.Boolean
  The Boolean value to append.

Return Value

Type: System.Text.StringBuilder
A reference to this instance after the append operation has completed.

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 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.

The Append method calls the Boolean.ToString() method to get the string representation of value. The capacity of this instance is adjusted as needed.
