Essentially yes. In practical terms, never do string concatenation on
an object, especially if it is being done repeatedly.
E.g. this is VERY bad:
Int32 i = 0;
String test = "";
while (i < 100)
{
test += i.ToString();
i++;
}
whereas this is much better:
Int32 i = 0;
StringBuilder test = new StringBuilder();
while (i < 100)
{
test.Append(i.ToString());
i++;
}
