Dim s As String
s = "Hello " + 12 + 14 + " World"
///

What result would you expect?
 
Hi Herfried,

LOL, no it's all right thanks, I've almost finished typing mine up. :-)

Fergus
 
Hi Herfried,

|| Dim s As String
|| s = "Hello " + 12 + 14 + " World"

I'd write
Dim s As String = "Hello 28 World"
or
Dim s As String = "Hello 1214 World"
depending on what I wanted.

It's interesting that the code produces a runtime Exception - I would have
thought that the compiler would be able to work out the discrepancy.


However,
s = "Hello " + " World"
vs

s = "Hello " & " World"

What's the difference? And we were talking about creating a huge string,
remember, no numbers involved. So I still have the question - why the emphasis
on '&'?

Regards,
Fergus
 
Herfried,
Now I know you did not try my test program, I was one of those who told you
that it is 10 times faster at least.
Or maybe you did know that before and I did not understand it.

Herfried,
How much time takes that with a 2Kb connection like you have?
I don't give it here, because of spammers.
(But my email is no secret, when you search with Google for Ligthert with
International language you have it direct,
I see my nephew Sacha has aranched it to become before me, but I will
correct that next week).

I have a faster connection now (128,000 Kbps transmit rate).

I am still typing with swollen fingers. If you finish typing, mail your
string to Cor.

Did you have a look at the MSIL with "ildasm"?

I never got a test program. Maybe the message was lost because of the
server problems and didn't arrive on my computer?!
 
Herfried,
It is not important anymore, I tested it in a discussion, and the difference
is really high.
So now I am a fan from stringbuilder too,
I even know the reference to it withouth thinking.
:-))

But in the test I program, I did send in Friday I used in too.
With that I make automatic very fast strings from 10Mb or more and without
RSI.
I had expected an reaction from you, because with that test is shown, that
the microsoft.visual basic function "Instr" is twice as fast as the net
member "indexof", I had expect a reaction from you, but it was not.
It proves that a lot of people who talks about slower, or people like me who
say equeal, are wrong.

That's really interesting. For some reason I didn't get your post...
