Insert(Int32, SByte)

Source:: StringBuilder.cs

Source:: StringBuilder.cs

Source:: StringBuilder.cs

Source:: StringBuilder.cs

Important

This API is not CLS-compliant.

Inserts the string representation of a specified 8-bit signed integer into this instance at the specified character position.

public:
 System::Text::StringBuilder ^ Insert(int index, System::SByte value);

[System.CLSCompliant(false)]
public System.Text.StringBuilder Insert(int index, sbyte value);

[<System.CLSCompliant(false)>]
member this.Insert : int * sbyte -> System.Text.StringBuilder

Public Function Insert (index As Integer, value As SByte) As StringBuilder

Parameters

index: Int32

The position in this instance where insertion begins.

value: SByte

The value to insert.

Returns

StringBuilder

A reference to this instance after the insert operation has completed.

Attributes: CLSCompliantAttribute

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

index is less than zero or greater than the length of this instance.

OutOfMemoryException

Enlarging the value of this instance would exceed MaxCapacity.

Remarks

SByte.ToString is used to get a string representation of value. Existing characters are shifted to make room for the new text. The capacity is adjusted as needed.

Notes to Callers

In the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and earlier versions, calls to this method threw an ArgumentOutOfRangeException if inserting value would cause the object's total length to exceed MaxCapacity. Starting with the .NET Framework 4, the method throws an OutOfMemoryException.
