Question

I have this code here to create a string of X spaces.

private static string GetWhiteSpaceString(int howManySpaces)
{
    return new string(' ', howManySpaces);
}

How could I cache this string somehow, so its only created if the number of spaces changed for example? Is there a better way than keeping some global variable?

Thanks 🙂

I don’t think you would need to cache a String. .Net handles it pretty well.

But if you still want to proceed, why not create a of type Dictionary<int,string> to store generated strings and look into it before returning a new one?
