really really slow by nature. This sample code uses classes to speed up the process by ten times. Someone recentally came up with a DLL to do this but not all of us can install a DLL on our ISP's web servers so I wrote this easy to use VB Class for handling string concatenation.

    ' Name: StrCat - Non DLL version
    ' Description:ASP's ability to concatena
    '     ting many strings together is really rea
    '     lly slow by nature. This sample code use
    '     s classes to speed up the process by ten
    '     times. Someone recentally came up with a
    '     DLL to do this but not all of us can ins
    '     tall a DLL on our ISP's web servers so I
    '     wrote this easy to use VB Class for hand
    '     ling string concatenation.
    ' By: Kevin Pirkl
    '
    ' Inputs:Public Property Length - To res
    '     ize the string length. To use it a secon
    '     d time on another string just set the .L
    '     ength property to another value or just
    '     dereference the object and recreate it.
    Public Method Add - too add data to the concatenated string.
    '
    ' Assumes:Didnt do much testing except u
    '     sing it to add together a string of 100,
    '     000 characters and it took about 7 secon
    '     ds which is not bad. If you need to add
    '     together more than that dont use this. I
    '     f your catting char strings like "<TR
    '     " + whatever then it should be ok.
