It's well-tested class for concatenating strings like:
but much much more faster than VB runtime do it.
Cases when it is needed sometimes:
Well, e.g., I'm using it to prepare some really huge logs of program in a single 'String' variable (e.g. up to 1 MB.) rather then writing them line by line to file (for performance acceleration purposes, if debug mode of my app. is disabled).
Don't know what else good cases. Better, don't store large data in this way, use suitable tools: arrays, databases ...
Using examples:
Result:
All data: Very many pieces of data
Len of data: 24
New data: many pieces of data
New data: Not many pieces of data
New data: How many pieces of data
New data: Anew
Len of data: 0

Code:
s = s & "one line"
s = s & "two line"
...
s = s & "N line"Cases when it is needed sometimes:
