Hi Andrei,
In general, I agree with Darren. I use StringBuilder when concatenating,
with one exception (and this can be important, IMO).
The exception is when you must parse the resultant string (for whaterver
reason), immediately after concatenation. If you have to parse, you must
convert the StringBuilder object to a String, and the result is that the use
of the StringBuilder actually can incure a performance penalty (especially
if the parsing process involve creation of multiple substrings). However,
if the job simply involves appending new data, and perhaps occasional
cleanup, then StringBuilder is the way to go.
