What is the .NET equivalent of StringBuffer in Java?

Question

What is the .NET equivalent of java.lang.StringBuffer?

Solution

It's System.Text.StringBuilder. Note that in modern Java you'd use java.lang.StringBuilder too. (It's like StringBuffer, but without the synchronization - I can't remember the last time I wanted the synchronization of StringBuffer. Note that the .NET StringBuilder isn't thread-safe either, but again, I can't remember the last time I found that to be a problem.)

You don't want the synchronization of StringBuffer, ever -- it doesn't actually make code thread-safe. See jeremymanson.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
