SharpDeveloper.NET (formally .NET Advice) : Use String.Format instead of Chopping Strings

Use String.Format instead of Chopping Strings

Here is a quick example of why string.Format is just so cool

For example:

text1.Text = string.Format("<a href=\"Mylink.aspx?abc=0&Color={0}\">my Link text</a>", myColor);

Isn't that much nicer than

text1.Text = "<a href=\"Mylink.aspx?abc=0&Color=" + myColor + "\">my Link text</a>", myColor);

Now with two parameters it's still so clean!

text1.Text = string.Format("<a href=\"Mylink.aspx?abc=0&ID={0}&wl={1}\">my Link text</a>", myColor, myWeight);
