sealed class

This String helper class enables in-place modification of a string without having to create new string instances. Since strings are immutable, their values cannot change once set. (Attempts to assign a new value to an existing string succeed, but at the expense of destroying and re-creating the original string.) The StringBuilder constructor allows you to set the size of the StringBuilder and specify the initial string it contains. The Insert( ) methods put new data (of varying types) into the StringBuilder at a specified position. Append( ) adds data to the end of a StringBuilder . The ToString( ) method converts the StringBuilder into a real string.
