String Concatenation

[billy_bob169]

I am trying to Concatenate two strings in a VS.NET 2003 C++ Windows application, and I cannot seem to get it to work. Does anyone have any ideas? The statement doesn't do anything...the compiler does not blow up either! The MessageBox just shows the first string! :(

 

{

String *msg = "Customer Order\n";

msg->Concat(S" Processors\n");

MessageBox::Show(msg);

}

For anyone else who runs into this, this is how I got it to work:

 

{

String* msg = "Customer Order\n";

msg = String::Concat(msg, S" Processors\n");

MessageBox::Show(msg);

}

 

Not quite sure hom to get the "msg->Concat(S"String2");" to work, but if anyone figures it out, I would like to know.

Good Luck!

Concat is a static method of the String class, so even when you were calling msg->Concat, you were really just calling the static one which obviously doesn't modify any source string.

I see. So I have to code it as such:

{

String* msg = "Customer Order\n";

msg = msg->Concat(msg, S" Processors\n");

MessageBox::Show(msg);

}

Thanks Divil
