Is it from a sight of resources reasonable to use a StringBuilder already to concat two strings or is there a minimum concatenation operations that makes the StringBuilder efficient?

I was currently looking at on old application that I am maintianing and it uses a mixture of retrieving Application config settings from both the App.config and application config table in the DB.In the new software I am working (a port of the old application) I have a list of email addresses that are static and rarely change, what would be the best mechanism for retrieving these. Currently I am using resource strings so that using them is a simple My.Resources., but what are the benefits/drawbacks of storing the information either in the App.Config or a database table.

I've been pulling my hair for three days trying to figure out what has gone wrong in what little code I have in my first attempt at both the minimax algorithm, and recursive calls in general (I'm relatively new to programming). Basically, I have everything working in the application except for the thing I wanted to actually learn and work on in it: The minimax algorithm. Basically, whenever a player makes a move, the computer will do one of two things:
If there is a winning move right next to it, it will use that move. Easy as pie.
However, if this move isn't in direct sight, it will pick whatever move lets the player win. The exact opposite of what it should be doing. I know it's not coming from:

I just looking how to use LINQ for grouping a list.
Class Item
Public col1 As String
Public col2 As String
Public col3 As String
Public description As String
[Code]...
Using VB.net and the following LINQ statement. I suspect the "Order by" does not work with Concat(). I want to list the current item the user has and then list more available items in asending order. So first i select the current item from the db and then select the next available items in order. LINQ is ignoring the order by statement and sorting by the PK (which is itemID) I examined the list immediately after executing the statement. When I break up the statement and do them separately they work as predicted.
(From items In myDatabase.ItemAssignments _
Where items.BuildingID = buildingID _
And items.ResidentID = ResidentID _

How do I concat combo box data. E.g. value in combo box 1 is "L1" and value in combobox 2 is "03". How do I combine them together into L103? Part of the code looks like this.

I am having the following string builder as msrtResult, which is quite long:

How can I remove the last "," from mstrResult Now? (it is in the middle of that mstrResult and it is not the last character of the whole string since I am appending strings to it)I should do it before adding the newline.

View 6 RepliesI have a sub that takes a string, replaces all characters that are not alphanumberic and or a "/" and replaces it with a space. Then it goes through and replaces all multiple spaces with a single space.
Right now I am using a string builder to do this. My problem is that this action must be done several hundred to thousand times depending on the filesize I am comparing it to (1 richtextbox line = 1 string)
I believe I should see a significant increase in performance if I can figure out how to do this using a single regex.replace function.How would I go about constructing a regex.replace function that would keep all alphanumberic characters and "/" and replace everything else with a single space?

I've got a stringbuilder variable, that I want to return the contents of, but if it's empty I want to return "|", so is it best to use stringbuilder.tostring in the compare statement e.g

StringBuilder exists purely for the reason that strings in .NET are immutable, that is that traditional string concatenation can use lots of resources (due to lots of String objects being created).So, since an Int32 is also immutable why don't classes exist for multiple addition for example?
