Look at the StringBuilder class. Anytime you are doing string manipulation/building, StringBuilder is the way to go. Remember...String is immutable so each time you change one, you are actually creating a new String object and forcing the GC of the old one.

Hi All Here is a very simple question. I have a string like the following: string strTest = "This is a test sentence for testing the string insert method"; I have predefined postions say like 6, 25,29 which are the starting positions of is,for,testing. I want to replace these words that start at this position with: was,is,test I tried to use strTest.Insert(6,"was"); strTest.Insert(25,"is"); strTest.Insert(29,"test"); But it looks like the insert method doesnt work. Can someone show me a better way of doing this. Appreciate any help.
