StringBuilder Constructor (Int32, Int32)

[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Initializes a new instance of the StringBuilder class that starts with a specified capacity and can grow to a specified maximum.

Namespace:  System.Text
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
    capacity As Integer, _
    maxCapacity As Integer _
)
public StringBuilder(
    int capacity,
    int maxCapacity
)
public:
StringBuilder(
    int capacity, 
    int maxCapacity
)
new : 
        capacity:int * 
        maxCapacity:int -> StringBuilder
public function StringBuilder(
    capacity : int, 
    maxCapacity : int
)

Parameters

  • maxCapacity
    Type: System. . :: . .Int32
    The maximum number of characters the current string can contain.

Remarks

The capacity parameter defines the maximum number of characters that can be stored in the memory allocated by the current instance. Its value is assigned to the Capacity property. If the number of characters to be stored in the current instance exceeds this capacity value, the StringBuilder object allocates additional memory to store them.

If capacity is zero, the implementation-specific default capacity is used.

The maxCapacity property defines the maximum number of characters that the current instance can hold. Its value is assigned to the MaxCapacity property. If the number of characters to be stored in the current instance exceeds this maxCapacity value, the StringBuilder object does not allocate additional memory, but instead throws an exception.
