How Does the StringBuilder Work in .NET? (Part 2)
Part Two: Understanding the Overhead of a StringBuilder To continue exploring how the StringBuilder works, we’ll shift focus and study its logical design. Today, we’ll start by looking at how the type is designed and the overhead involved with creating and using StringBuilder instances. If you missed part one of this series, I explained why […]
How Does the StringBuilder Work in .NET? (Part 1)
Part 1: Why do we need a StringBuilder and when should we use one? After becoming proficient in .NET and C#, developers are likely to learn that they should use a StringBuilder to optimise string manipulation and concatenation.

String Manipulation in C#: Best Practices
Last week my sixth Pluralsight course, “String Manipulation in C#: Best Practices” was released. This new course dives into creating, modifying, searching and parsing strings in .NET. Strings are one of the most used types in .NET applications and In this course, you’ll uncover everything you need to know about strings to use them effectively […]
Getting Started with the Roslyn APIs: Writing Code with Code
For the last few weeks, I’ve been working on designing and developing a C# code generator. In this post, I want to explain some of the core concepts that I’ve learned so far and describe how you too, can get started with using the Roslyn APIs. NOTE: The Roslyn APIs are a niche feature of […]
